Use of Thin Film DepositionUse of Thin Film Deposition Thin Film Growth or Deposition: It is a Thin Film Growth or Deposition: It is a
thin layer of coating on a substrate or thin layer of coating on a substrate or template. It serves one or multiple template. It serves one or multiple physical purposes including protection, physical purposes including protection, decoration, conducting, reflection, data decoration, conducting, reflection, data storage, insulation, etc.storage, insulation, etc.

High Quality Growth:
•Ordered foundation
•Same size
•Same pattern
•Right time
•Right condition
Understanding Thin Film Understanding Thin Film GrowthGrowth Atoms must be able to move Atoms must be able to move
around on the substrate until they around on the substrate until they find the right spot. This results in find the right spot. This results in the growth layer.the growth layer.
