A hybrid multiscale kinetic Monte Carlo method for simulation of copper electrodeposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hybrid multiscale kinetic Monte Carlo (HMKMC) method for speeding up the simulation of copper electrodeposition is presented. The fast diffusion events are simulated deterministically with a heterogeneous diffusion model which considers site-blocking effects of additives. Chemical reactions are simulated by an accelerated (tau-leaping) method for discrete stochastic simulation which adaptively selects exact discrete stochastic simulation for the appropriate reaction whenever that is necessary. The HMKMC method is seen to be accurate and highly efficient. 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Multiscale simulations of copper electrodeposition onto a resistive substrate
During the initial stages of copper electrodeposition onto a thin seed layer, a nonuniform potential distribution arises, resulting in local variations in growth rate and deposit morphology. Early stages of morphology evolution during copper electrodeposition are of practical importance but have not been well studied. Here, a new multiscale approach is developed for numerical simulation of the ...
متن کاملEffect of Additives on Shape Evolution during Electrodeposition I. Multiscale Simulation with Dynamically Coupled Kinetic Monte Carlo and Moving-Boundry Finite-Volume Codes
A multiscale simulation model was developed to simulate shape evolution during copper electrodeposition in the presence of additives. The model dynamically coupled a kinetic Monte Carlo KMC model for surface chemistry and roughness evolution with a finite volume FV model for transport and chemical reactions in the electrolyte and a level-set code for tracking macroscopic movement of the metal/e...
متن کاملFluid Solver Independent Hybrid Methods for Multiscale Kinetic Equations
In some recent works [11, 12] we developed a general framework for the construction of hybrid algorithms which are able to face efficiently the multiscale nature of some hyperbolic and kinetic problems. Here, at variance with respect to the previous methods, we construct a method form-fitting to any type of finite volume or finite difference scheme for the reduced equilibrium system. Thanks to ...
متن کاملCoupled Mesoscale—Continuum Simulations of Copper Electrodeposition in a Trench
Copper electrodeposition in submicron trenches involves phenomena that span many orders of magnitude in time and length scales. In the present work, two codes that simulate electrochemical phenomena on different time and length scales were externally linked. A Monte Carlo code simulated surface phenomena in order to resolve surface roughness evolution and trench in-fill. A 2-D finite difference...
متن کاملCoarse-Grained Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Copper Electrodeposition with Additives
A (2+1)D kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) code was developed for coarse-grained as well as atomic-scale simulations that require detailed consideration of complex surface-reaction mechanisms associated with electrodeposition of copper in the presence of additives. The physical system chosen for simulation is similar to that used by the microelectronics industry to fabricate on-chip interconnects, wher...
