After successfully completing this course the student will be able to;

1) Present relevant fundamental materials science and physics issues in thin film structures and devices

2) Provide insight on materials science and physics of thin films and devices so that students can analyze and identify the right material, growth and processing method for the desired product.

3) Provide understanding on thin film material and device characterization so that students can analyze and identify the right optical, electrical, magnetic and structural technique for the desired device structure.

4) Benefit toward graduate studies in thin film materials and devices, do a literature study and then report its findings.
