← ScienceWhich outcome occurs from increased substrate temperature during vacuum deposition?
A)Increased adatom surface diffusion✓
B)Decreased thin film density
C)Elevated residual gas incorporation
D)Reduced overall deposition rate
💡 Explanation
Increased substrate temperature provides more thermal energy. This enables hopping via increased adatom surface diffusion during thin film growth because atoms overcome energy barriers that form stronger covalent bonds; therefore, a smoother thin film results rather than a rough aggregate.
