Abstract
Based on corrected rate equations, the kinetics is revealed for the initialgrowth of thin films with a low nucleus density and a linear lateral growth rateon a substrate surface. In this case, the mobility and coalescence terms inthe rate equations are neglected, and the coverage term takes a dominant role. Allthe calculated results are in agreement with experimental data. Theseresults introduce a new scaling in the case of dominant coverage, which isdifferent from the those in the case of coalescence or mobility in a dominantrole.
