Abstract

Using the molecular dynamics method, the sputtering of a copper target and the subsequent formation of a copper nanofilm on a silicon substrate has been modeled. The process parameters corresponded to the conditions in low-pressure gas-discharge plasma. The obtained values of the sputtering coefficient are consistent with experimental data. The nanofilm growth rate has been determined.
