Abstract
Morphological instabilities in thin-film growth and etching were studied. Pattern formation of the morphology results when a mechanism that destabilizes the morphology on long length scales competes with mechanism that stabilizes the morphology on short length scales. The comments on some of the unresolved scientific issues were presented.
