Handbook of Deposition Technologies for Films and Coatings, 2nd Ed., Second Edition: Science, Applications and Technology (Materials Science and ... Electronic Materials and Process Technology)

This second edition, edited by the world-renowned Dr. Rointain Bunshah, is an extensive update of the many improvements in deposition technologies, mechanisms, and applications. Considerably more material was added in Plasma Assisted Vapor Deposition processes, as well as Metallurgical Coating Applications. "A decade after the first edition of this volume was published, the second edition is being brought out due to (i) the excellent response to the previous edition, and (ii) to update the many advances in the science, technology and applications of deposition technologies. The entire volume has been extensively revised and contains 50% more new material." "It presents a unique collection of current knowledge on deposition technologies for films and coatings including the most recent state of the art. It extensively covers those processes used in high technology, covering the entire spectrum from thin films to bulk coatings." "The contents deal with various technologies for the deposition of films and coatings, and the resulting microstructure, properties and applications. It covers the subjects of Evaporation, Ion Plating, Sputtering, Chemical Vapor Deposition, Deposition from Aqueous Solutions, and Plasma and Detonation Gun Deposition techniques. Additionally several other subjects common to the above technologies are also covered such as Surface Preparation, the role of Plasmas in Deposition Processes and Characterization of Thin Films." "Written by leading researchers in the field, this book is the only comprehensive treatment of Deposition Technology. It will be useful and needed by scientists, engineers and managers working in industries associated with films and coatings for optical, electrical, mechanical, and decorative applications."--BOOK JACKET Covers the basics of contamination control for the beginner, while also focusing in depth on critical issues of process engineering and circuit manufacturing for the more advanced reader. Stresses to readers that what makes the area of contamination control unique is its ubiquitous nature, across all facets of semiconductor manufacturing. Clean room technology, well-recognized as a fundamental requirement in modern day circuit manufacturing, barely scratches the surface in total contamination control A decade after the first edition of this volume was published, this second edition is being brought out to update the many improvements in deposition technologies, its mechanisms, and applications. The entire volume has been extensively revised and contains at least 50% more material. Five chapters have been added. Historically, from the late 1950sonward, decorative coatingsoraluminum provided the initial thrustfor surface-engineered products fortoys, textiles, etc.
