The process of thin film hydration typically involves several steps: 1. Preparation of the Thin Film: A thin layer of the material to be hydrated is deposited onto a substrate using methods like spin coating, evaporation, or sputtering. 2. Hydration: The thin film is then exposed to a hydrating agent, which could be water vapor, liquid water, or other hydrating chemicals. 3. Control: The hydration level is carefully controlled through parameters like time, temperature, and humidity to achieve the desired properties.
