One indispensable volume for a thin film maker.......2002-11-02

Almost all knowledges about the manufacturing of an optical thin film are coverd.Especially bibliograpy is substantial.Although most required things have gathered, they are good.About the theoretical portion of the characteristic of a thin film, explanation is by for beginners a little.Although there is nothing, since there are some which explained it mostly, they do not become a problem.
As the 2nd book,it is indispensable to those who are going to study the optical thin film.
In a thin film maker's bookshelf,It is one volume which should be equipped with and placed.

Book Description

A unified treatment of the theories, data, and technologies underlying physical vapor deposition methods With electronic, optical, and magnetic coating technologies increasingly dominating manufacturing in the high-tech industries, there is a growing need for expertise in physical vapor deposition of thin films. This important new work provides researchers and engineers in this field with the information they need to tackle thin film processes in the real world. Presenting a cohesive, thoroughly developed treatment of both fundamental and applied topics, Physical Vapor Deposition of Thin Films incorporates many critical results from across the literature as it imparts a working knowledge of a variety of present-day techniques. Numerous worked examples, extensive references, and more than 100 illustrations and photographs accompany coverage of:
* Thermal evaporation, sputtering, and pulsed laser deposition techniques
* Key theories and phenomena, including the kinetic theory of gases, adsorption and condensation, high-vacuum pumping dynamics, and sputtering discharges
* Trends in sputter yield data and a new simplified collisional model of sputter yield for pure element targets
* Quantitative models for film deposition rate, thickness profiles, and thermalization of the sputtered beam

Very useful text.......2007-05-03

I found this book very useful and practical. It is nice to see a book that balances a good combination of theory and practicality.

...a practical book.......2005-09-14

This book is more practical than theoretical... It include the basic concepts of vacuum and practical plasmas (like sputering plasma... I like it becouse there are many numerical examples to apply the ecuations and to explain the fundamentals of plasma modelling. It is a basic book

Book Description

This excellent, in-depth review of diamond films and coatings covers their properties, growth, deposition, characterization, and applications. The eight chapters are written by experts in their field. Early studies on synthetic diamonds were done in the 1950s and 1960s, however, their use and importance were not recognized until the late 1970s and early 1980s. These coatings are now being used in high temperature and tribological applications, optics and electro-optics applications, and certainly biological applications.
