Abstract

A model for free molecular transport, surface diffusion and heterogeneous reactions in features during low pressure deposition processes is specialized to simulate film profile evolution during sputtered Al PVD. The dimensionless parameter which results from nondimensionalizing the governing equation dictates film profiles. Feature size dependent step coverages are demonstrated in trenches of aspect ratio one.
