Metal Based Thin Films for Electronics

"...I can certainly agree with the final sentence of the book cover: A perfect introduction to the field-for professionals and students." Angewandte Chemie 2004 No. 11, Uwe Bornscheuer "Through its focus on practical aspects and its didactic approach, the book is designed especially for practitioners. It can be highly recommended to materials engineers, physicists or process engineers who work or plan to work in the still exciting field of micro electronics." Winfried Blau, European Society of Thin Films, Dresden
"...ist das Buch sowohl in seiner Praxisorientierung als auch in seiner didaktischen Gestaltung auf den Praktiker zugeschnitten. Es kann jedem Werkstofftechniker, Physiker oder Prozessingenieur, der auf dem immer noch aufregenden Gebiet der Mikroelektronik tätig ist oder tätig werden will, wärmstens empfohlen werden." Vakuum in Forschung und Praxis 2/04
