In this paper, the physical aspects of sol-gel film formation are discussed. The equations governing the steady state film profile, controlled by hydrodynamic flow, capillary pressure and evaporation, are presented along with representative data obtained by imaging ellipsometry. Some issues concerning capillary collapse are also addressed.
