Abstract
ABSTRACTLow energy argon-ion assisted growth of thin molybdenum films (∼ 60 Å) has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of a single ion impact are discussed, but more particularly we consider film growth from a manufacturing viewpoint and examine the properties of the completed films. Results for ion-beam assisted deposition are compared with those for unassisted growth (i.e. physical vapor deposition). Surface morphology, defect generation, argon incorporation, and the various responsible atomic mechanisms are discussed.
