Physics and Technology of thin films play an important role to achieve smaller devices with higher speed especially in new generation of integrated circuits, sensors, flat panel displays, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), biomedical devices, optical instruments and microwave communications. Thin films as a nano-scale dimensional system have great importance to many challenging applications. Low material costs involved in thin film based devices coupled with high performance drives the research in this area. Thus, determination of the nature, functions and new properties of thin films in both micro and nano-scale can be used for the development of new technologies for future applications. This international conference on thin film and applications ICTFA - 2012 will bring together Researchers, Academicians, and Technologists on a common platform to exchange ideas on the latest developments in various areas of thin film technology around the globe.
