Course Details

Fundamentals of Thin Film Mechanics: An introduction to the principles and concepts of thin film mechanics, including stress and strain, elasticity, and plasticity.
Thin Film Deposition Techniques: A survey of various methods for depositing thin films, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD).
Mechanical Properties of Thin Films: An examination of the mechanical behavior of thin films, including their strength, stiffness, and toughness, and how these properties are influenced by factors such as film thickness, substrate material, and deposition conditions.
Thin Film Characterization Techniques: An overview of techniques for characterizing the mechanical properties of thin films, such as nanoindentation, tensile testing, and in-situ electron microscopy.
Micro- and Nanomechanics of Thin Films: A study of the mechanical behavior of thin films at the micro- and nanoscale, including size effects, surface effects, and defects.
Computational Modeling of Thin Film Mechanics: An introduction to the use of computational methods, such as finite element analysis (FEA) and molecular dynamics (MD), for simulating the mechanical behavior of thin films.
Advanced Topics in Thin Film Mechanics: An exploration of advanced topics in thin film mechanics, such as fracture mechanics, creep, and fatigue.
Applications of Thin Film Mechanics: A consideration of the practical applications of thin film mechanics in fields such as microelectronics, energy, and biomedicine.
