Couche minceUne couche mince () est un revêtement dont l’épaisseur peut varier de quelques couches atomiques à une dizaine de micromètres. Ces revêtements modifient les propriétés du substrat sur lesquels ils sont déposés. Ils sont principalement utilisés : dans la fabrication de composants électroniques telles des cellules photovoltaïques en raison de leurs propriétés isolantes ou conductrices ; pour la protection d'objets afin d'améliorer les propriétés mécaniques, de résistance à l’usure, à la corrosion ou en servant de barrière thermique.
Co-fired ceramicCo-fired ceramic devices are monolithic, ceramic microelectronic devices where the entire ceramic support structure and any conductive, resistive, and dielectric materials are fired in a kiln at the same time. Typical devices include capacitors, inductors, resistors, transformers, and hybrid circuits. The technology is also used for robust assembly and packaging of electronic components multi-layer packaging in the electronics industry, such as military electronics, MEMS, microprocessor and RF applications.
Media studiesMedia studies is a discipline and field of study that deals with the content, history, and effects of various media; in particular, the mass media. Media Studies may draw on traditions from both the social sciences and the humanities, but mostly from its core disciplines of mass communication, communication, communication sciences, and communication studies.
Influence of mass mediaIn media studies, mass communication, media psychology, communication theory, and sociology, media influence and the media effect are topics relating to mass media and media culture's effects on individuals' or audiences' thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. Through written, televised, or spoken channels, mass media reach large audiences. Mass media's role in shaping modern culture is a central issue for the study of culture. Media influence is the actual force exerted by a media message, resulting in either a change or reinforcement in audience or individual beliefs.
