surface morphology, surface evolution, growth model, roughnessAbstract
First we review different models of surface growth processes. Then we focus on the calculation of the surface roughness for the amorphous thin film growth represented by a one-dimensional deterministic field equation. On the base of numerical simulations, better understanding of the amorphous thin film growth process is available. The temporal evolution of the surface roughness of the surface morphology with parameter data has been presented. The effect of the parameter is significant on the height profile, on the mean average height profile and on the surface roughness.
