Abstract

During annealing of a polycrystalline thin film surfaces move. If the grain-boundaries move faster, the grains having the lowest free energy grow at the at the expense of others, resulting in a continuous film with large grains. If the film surfaces move faster, they groove along their junctions with the grain-boundaries, breaking the film to islands. This paper describes analytic solutions for steady surface motions, and discusses the morphology selection.
