Thin film technology is ubiquitous across materials science for applications such as semiconductors, electronics, memory devices, energy storage, photovoltaics, chemical sensors, and many more. Furthermore, there are sufficient fabrication techniques that virtually any type of material can be prepared as a thin film.

The 43-page eBook Thin Film Metrology, an overview on the use of laser scanning confocal microscopy in materials science is followed by three recent articles on the fabrication, characterization and applications of thin films.
