Thin film deposition is a technique for coating surfaces with very thin layers of material that range in thickness from a few nano meters to 100 µm, or just a few atoms. It can also be used to build up layers on top of already-deposited coatings. Today''s semiconductor, photovoltaic, CD, disc drive, and optical device industries are all based on thinning out films
