Which outcome occurs from increased substrate temperature during vacuum deposition?

💡 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.
