2.1 Fabrication techniques and thin-film physics

Readers are also invited to consult the article for all aspects of thin-film production techniques and physics:

• deposit methods ;

• growth and nucleation ;

• adhesion and stress ;

• design and production methods ;

• thin-film stability.

There's also a section dedicated to the production of single-layer thin films, or what we call "traditional" thin films. In particular, the main deposition methods are described:

• thermal evaporation ;
