  2. Downward funneling model PRL 62, 921 (1989). • Transient mobility model PRB 41, 5410 (1990). • Impact cascade diffusion model •  PRB 57, 6685 (1998). • Anomalously intermixing PRB 66, 104427 (2002). ES* barrier a b : Atomic-scale Thin Film Growth As the scale of device goes down to an atomic level… Conventional concepts Various & complex diffusion behaviors

  3. Research Strategy Atomic scale deposition behavior Morphology & Diffusion path Fundamental understanding Surface diffusion barrier calculation  Using Molecular Dynamics & Statics method
