THIN FILM WINTER SEM 2022-23
Exam conducted in 4 parts
Part 1 - introduction – 10 marks
Part 2 - thin solid films – 30 marks
Part 3 - soft thin films – 30 marks
Part 4 – thin film from liquid dispersion – 30 marks
Part 1 – mainly includes simple questions about thin films from each part
Part 2
1) What is solid thin film and what is the reason for the thin films coating give
them with respect to examples and how they made?
2) Draw schematic diagram of Evaporation by electron beam label the
important parts
3) What happens when target gets sputter. What is the meaning of sputtering?
how can we increase the yield?
4) What is the use of ion bombardment of substrate?
5) Problem: Using faradays law calculate the time requires to deposit 1 mole of
chromium(!!!) using electroplating ?
6) What is the effect of temperature in reaction control growth and draw graph
with labels and justify the reason?
7) They provide the figure CVD and tell us to identify them and describe how
they different from normal CVD? ( They provided figure of PECVD)
8) They given table and mention 5 deposition process we need to mention the
process. Reaction involved, film formation for any two of them?
I think there are other questions also I don’t remember completely.
Part 3
1) What are soft thin films?
2) Conditions for the coffee rings effects?
3) What are surfactants? How they behave in water?
4) How to supress coffee ring effect? Mention two methods.
5) Difference between dispersion film and solution films?
6) What are Self assembled monolayers? Mention their parts?
7) Some question about intereference
Part 4
1) Problem using psychometric chart,
Finding Water uptake capacity
Heating power
2) Different flowing of gas to substrate advantages and disadvantages
Intuition for drying
3) There is a situation mentioned in our question paper they mention two different
drying cases we need to Justify our answer using psychometric chart which is best?
