SnapFib: An easy build Arduino based tabletop prototype for thin film deposition by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction method.

ABSTRACT: Non-vacuum-based techniques are suitable for thin-film deposition with precision stoichiometric control. Among those, the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method is gaining popularity for its aqueous-based almost room temperature deposition option. This method has many advantages, including the ability to control the elemental composition and stoichiometry of precursors. It is also suitable for large-area deposition. It has many runtime parameters, e.g., the number of cycles, dip time, rinse time, etc., that control the quantitative and qualitative physical properties of the deposited film. But manually controlling all these parameters for the whole process is very difficult and cumbersome. Although there are several reports published on this similar type of home-buil
