Thin film technology has emerged as a pivotal field with numerous industrial applications. Depending on their properties-such magnetic characteristics, conductivity, architectural structure, stability, and functional backbones-thin films are widely utilized in optoelectronics, thin-film coatings, solar cells, energy storage devices, semiconductors, separation However, for all these applications, thin must be securely attached to specific substrates, substrate compatibility both the film-growth process is crucial optimal performance. In this review, we emphasize significance of growing films, particularly covalent organic framework (COF) suitable substrates tailored various For technologies, polymer commonly fabricated porous polymeric or metal-based membranes. contrast, metals metal oxides typically deposited conducting serving current collectors devices. Semiconductor other hand, often grown silicon glass transistor Emerging COF tunable properties, well-defined pore channels, versatile backbones, have demonstrated exceptional potential separation, storage, electronic optoelectronic interplay between well growth conditions, remains underexplored. Studies investigating such metals, oxides, glass, silicon, polymers, ITO, FTO provided insights into properties that promote superior growth. The quality formed significantly influences performance Additionally, discuss stabilization biological like peptide-based biomimetic catalysts enzymes, which suffer from instability non-aqueous environments, limiting use. Growing membranes can enhance stability under harsh conditions. We also highlight techniques ensuring preservation structural integrity properties.
