Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of polycrystalline silver metal electrodeposition: scaling of roughness and effects of deposition parameters

Abstract

= 0.57 ± 0.01. The surface morphology under different deposition parameters (current density and substrate temperature) has been discussed in detail. The surface roughness increases where the current density increases due to high deposition rates, which can accelerate the growth of island mode, especially on the (111) surface. In contrast, the surface roughness decreases the temperature of the substrate increases due to thermal agitation, allowing to transform nearly columnar grains to grains with a flat and smooth surface. Finally, the simulations provided information on the subsurface deposition rate of each grain that is not directly available for experimental investigations. It was observed that the (111) grain has a faster deposition rate compared to the (100) and (110) grains due to the low surface energy of the (111) grain.
