Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations of physical and chemical vapor deposition are used to study roughening kinetics of films that grow by nucleation and coalescence of clusters. The effects of interlayer transport, preferential dissociation of molecular precursors and energetic differences between the clusters and the substrate are examined.
