Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a powerful tool for achieving atomic level control in the deposition of thin films. However, several physical and chemical phenomena can occur which cause deviation from "ideal" film growth during ALD. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that cause these deviations is important to achieving even better control over the growth of the deposited material. Herein, we review several precursor chemisorption mechanisms and the effect of chemisorption on ALD growth. We then follow with a discussion on dif
