Abstract
A two-dimensional cross-sectional kinetic Monte Carlo (2DCS-KMC) model has been developed to simulate the electrodeposition of single crystal copper on an atomically even surface. The evolution of the microstructure has been visualized and is discussed here. The cluster density, average cluster size, variance of the cluster size and average aspect ratio were obtained from the simulations. The entire growth history from the deposition of the first atom until an equivalent of 100 monolayers has been deposited has been reconstructed. The model has proven capable of capturing the effects of deposition parameters including concentration of Cu2+, temperature and applied electrode potential on growth history. These parameters have significant effects on the microstructure in terms of variance of the cluster height, width or size. However, the peak cluster density seems independent of the deposition parameters. The concentration of Cu2+ and potential have significant effects, while temperature has very little effect on the rate of change of cluster density and variance of cluster size.
