The topic of thin films is an area of increasing importance in
materials science, electrical engineering and applied solid state
physics; with both research and industrial applications in
microelectronics, computer manufacturing, and physical devices.
Advanced, high-performance computers, high-definition TV, broadband
imaging systems, flat-panel displays, robotic systems, and medical
electronics and diagnostics are a few examples of the miniaturized
device technologies that depend on the utilization of thin film
materials.
This book presents an in-depth overview of the novel
developments made by the scientific leaders in the area of modern
dielectric films for advanced microelectronic applications.
It contains clear, concise explanations of material science of
dielectric films and their problem for device operation, including
high-k, low-k, medium-k dielectric films and also specific features
and requirements for dielectric films used in the packaging
technology. A broad range of related topics are covered, from
physical principles to design, fabrication, characterization, and
applications of novel dielectric films.
