Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Science for Girls, Professor Dr. Samira Naji Kazem, the Department of Physics, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit, organized a workshop titled Thin Film Technology and Its Applications. The workshop was presented by M.M. Duaa Karim Harfash and M.M. Shaimaa Ibrahim Mahmoud.
The goal of the activity was to introduce thin film technology, which relies on creating very thin layers of materials on a specific surface using methods such as evaporation, vapor deposition, or spraying. These films range in thickness from nano to micrometer scales, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial and technological applications. Some of the most prominent applications of thin film technology include solar panels, electronic energy devices such as transistors and touch screens, and providing coatings that are scratch-resistant, corrosion-resistant, or designed to control surface properties. They are also used in material sensors for monitoring environmental pollution. This technology is notable for its material efficiency, design flexibility, and its ability to provide innovative solutions in many fields.
