Course Catalog Description
This course covers the fundamental experimental materials science and processing
of thin film and coatings that incorporates fundamental knowledge of materials transport,
accumulation, defects and epitaxy. Through this course, an understanding of the fundamental
physical and chemical processes which are involved in crystal growth and thin film fabrication
will be gained. Important synthesis and processing techniques used for the fabrication of
electronic and photonic devices will be discussed. Finally, it will provide an
understanding of how material characteristics are influenced by processing and deposition
conditions. This course addresses current challenges and future needs of
the semiconductor and coating industries.
