Fig. 3. The schematic of brief classification of thin film deposition techniques. 3.1 Chemical methods Among the various methods, chemical methods are widely used for film deposition as they have several advantages like cost effective, large area deposition, lower reaction temperature and uniformity in...
The thin films that are used to fabricate microelectronic devices are all formed using some kind of deposition technology where the term refers to the formation of a deposit on a substrate.
For instance, few numbers of microns of gold material coated onto glass surface make the glass conductive. Furthermore, thin film technology was used to prepare metastable phases at low temperature especially with applying plasma techniques such as sputter deposition and plasma assisted chemical vapor ...
Space exploration is one of humanity’s most challenging and costly activities. Nevertheless, we continuously strive to venture further and more frequ
Among all techniques, PVD offers various advantages, which include full control over growth, pristine film quality, large-scale fabrication, stacking of thin films, co-deposition flexibility, and controlling of the deposition temperature. In addition, such techniques can be adapted in small-scale ...
using different techniques (PVD, CVD, ECD, plasma-based, hybrid, etc.). Such versatility allows tailoring and engineering of the layers in order to improve device performance. For large-area devices required for realistic applications, thin-film device fabrication becomes complex and requires proper...

The basic physical aspects of the CdTe-thin film solar cell in its various embodiments are reviewed. Deposition techniques are briefly described, results of present pilot-line production efforts and the future potential are discussed, which make the CdTe thin film solar cell a promising candidate ...
Additionally, thermal stresses resulting from the difference between deposition and room temperature should be considered as well as other effects, for example, like ion bombardment coming from the deposition process itself when using sputtering techniques. Thin films usually show some anisotropy of their...
