3.00 Credits
Metallic, ceramic and glassy films, with thickness less than approximately 1 B5m, formed by gas phase deposition. Thin film applications, vacuum fundamentals, PVD and CVD, models for general thin film growth, epitaxial growth, sources of stress, deformation mechanisms, and mechanical characterization techniques such as substrate curvature and nanoindentation. Prerequisite: MAT 33. Also recommended, but not required, is some experience with mechanics of materials. Vinci

3.00 Credits
Focus will be on the processing, structure, and properties of metal films and coatings. Processing methods will include evaporation, sputtering, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma-assisted CVD, ion implantation, electrodeposition, metal bath solidification, weld overlay, thermal spraying, and diffusion. Characterization of thin films and coatings will be done with the use of sophisticated analytical instrumentation, including spectroscopic methods, microscopy and diffraction techniques. Characterization methods are explored in conjunction with processing techniques and film/coating properties via class assignments that are designed to introduce students to the archival scientific literature. Prerequisite: Senior standing in Chemical Engineering or Materials Science and Engineering, or permission of the instructor(s).
