Abstract

Silicon thin film growth from cluster beams has been investigated with molecular-dynamics simulations utilizing the Stillinger–Weber two- and three-body interaction potential. The spreading of Si-atom clusters and the structure of grown films have been studied as a function of incident cluster velocity. Higher surface diffusion and spreading of the deposited clusters was achieved with increasing cluster velocity. Epitaxial Si (1 1 1) growth was obtained under a moderate cluster velocity.
