Abstract

In a profile simulation of a thin film deposited on a substrate by sputtering, inverse trajectories from an area concerned of the substrate to a target are calculated by Monte Carlo method in order to reduce time required for the profile simulation. With trajectories arriving to the target and their generation probabilities, the profile simulation is performed applying a string model.
