A film type is characterized by the material characteristics of any films on the given sample. A film need not be complete, a part does however need to be more than one atom thick and several nm wide in the plane – if it can be seen in a SEM it is probably a film – if it can be seen in a microscope it is definately a film. There can be more than one film. However, for some process, only the top layer might be important, if buried layers are not exposed during the process. Please contact the thinfilm group, if you have multilayer substrates and you are in doubt if you can process your sample. | A film type is characterized by the material characteristics of any films on the given sample.
