Through the incorporation of different particle-surface interaction models, our method models a wide range of deposition techniques, including Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Chemical Vapor Deposition and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). We demonstrate our method on trench filling with a two-step copper resputter PVD process and a model ALD process.enmonte-carlo simulationsraytracingthin filmsvapor depositionFilm Growth from Particle Raytracing: A Simulation Method for Vapor Deposition Processes with Changing Surface Topographiesconference paper
