Abstract
Morphology evolution of thin film growth can be quantitatively modeled by employing rate equations for two-dimensional, single-valued functions within a treatment of small perturbations. This description can be expected to be valid in an intermediate film thickness regime, where substrate influences and three-dimensional effects are minor. The breakdown of the mathematical description in its upper film thickness limit is systematically investigated by a detailed comparison of experiments and simulation. Possible reasons for the failure are discussed and improvements are suggested.
