Abstract The initial stages of growth of films and coatings by chemical vapor deposition are investigated. A system of equations is derived which describes the evolution of an island film at the stage of Ostwald ripening under conditions characteristic of vapor deposition. Solving this system of equations yields the dependence of all of the main characteristics of island films (the size distribution function of the islands, the dependence of the mean radius and density of the islands) as functions of time and the spatial coordinate. Suggestions are given for the preparation of films with prescribed properties.
