When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Thin-film deposition, lithography, and etching form the most fundamental processes used in microfabrication to create devices. This course introduces these processes, providing learners with an understanding of the techniques, physical phenomena, and material properties that inform fabrication decisions.

Module details

In this module we cover thin film deposition using both physical and chemical methods. We briefly discuss some of the important features of thin films that determine the materials and deposition processes selected. A general introduction is provided for some of the most commonly used physical and chemical deposition methods.
