Thin film technology has got wide spread applications starting from the micro- and nano-electronics field to storage, energy, automobile and biotechnology industry. The exotic properties of thin films are mainly decided by the associated thermodynamics which is uniquely dependent on the deposition method. This workshop is primarily focused on understanding the physics and technology of thin films and is mainly targeted at M.Tech. and M.Sc. Students. The major objectives of the workshop is to throw light on the thin film deposition techniques, associated characterization techniques to evaluate the exotic properties of thin films and their importance in the development of various new and interesting technologies especially in the field of Photovoltaics and Gas sensors. This workshop will also feature few basics of device fabrication techniques. The workshop is a merger of science, engineering and technology aiming at students and faculty from various disciplines.
