single layer

Sole covering thickness

Single layer describes something consisting of only one thickness or level of material, as opposed to multiple stacked or overlapping layers.

A single-layer cake has no filling between tiers.

In technical contexts, it often specifies construction: single-layer graphene, single-layer PCB.

The term emphasizes minimal depth or simplicity of structure.
