Chemical Solution Synthesis for Materials Design and Thin Film Device Applications. This item is unavailable.Chemical Solution Synthesis for Materials Design and Thin Film Device Applications

Chemical Solution Synthesis for Materials Design and Thin Film Device Applications presents current research on wet chemical techniques for thin-film based devices. Sections cover the quality of thin films, types of common films used in devices, various thermodynamic properties, thin film patterning, device configuration and applications. As a whole, these topics create a roadmap for developing new materials and incorporating the results in device fabrication. This book is suitable for graduate, undergraduate, doctoral students, and researchers looking for quick guidance on material synthesis and device fabrication through wet chemical routes.

• Provides the different wet chemical routes for materials synthesis, along with the most relevant thin film structured materials for device applications
• Discusses patterning and solution processing of inorganic thin films, along with solvent-based processing techniques
• Includes an overview of key processes and methods in thin film synthesis, processing and device fabrication, such as nucleation, lithography and solution processing
