摘要
We present a kinetic lattice Monte Carlo simulation model that describes deposition, surface self-diffusion (including single adatom, dimer and ledge adatom diffusion), nucleation and film growth on fee metal substrates. The activation energies for diffusion are calculated using the embedded-atom method. Using this model, we determine the relative growth rates of(100), (110) and (111) facets as a function of substrate temperature, deposition rate and facet size. The effects of relative growth rates on the microstructural evolution of Cu films are discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
