What is thin film deposition?

Thin film deposition is a process of applying a thin layer of material onto a substrate. This can be used to modify the electrical, optical, mechanical, or chemical properties of the substrate. Common applications include creating semiconductors, optical coatings, and protective layers.

What other technologies are related to thin film deposition?
