Description:

Thin films play an important role in many technological applications including microelectronic devices, magnetic storage media and surface coatings. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the major issues and topics dealing with stress, defect formation and surface evolution in thin films. Physical phenomena are examined from the continuum down to the sub-microscopic length scales, with the connections between the structure of the material and its behavior described wherever appropriate. While the book develops a comprehensive scientific basis with which stress, deformation and failure in thin film materials can be characterized, an attempt is also made to link the scientific…
