Abstract

Thin film coatings are a much explored domain, since films are well suited for the studies of physical, particularly optical properties and have numerous scientific, technological, and commercial applications. For depositing thin films, a large number of techniques have been used which involves different types of precursors. This review will highlight coating technology utilizing the sol-gel mediated precursor, which delivers high homogeneity, low temperature processing and various other advantages. Besides this, thin film depositing techniques like spin coating, dip coating have also been discussed with their various applications.
