Abstract
The three most common vapor processes are described, including sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition. These processes are used primarily to make thin films and nanostructures. First, the kinetic theory of gases is used to show how vacuums control vapor processes. Next, the origin of typical thin film microstructures is discussed. The chapter then details the three processes, including parameters that most affect the resulting materials.
