The aim of this work - classification of thin-film structures according to the degree of self-organization by scaling index, average mutual information and maximum mutual information determined by twodimensional detrended fluctuation analysis and average-mutual-information method. Model surfaces with different degrees of ordering (self-organization) were produced. Their relief was studied by 2D detrended fluctuation analysis and average-mutual-information method. Based on the research results of model surfaces, value lists of scaling index, average and maximum mutual information were compiled which allow to classify thin-film structures by the degree of self-organization. An approvement of obtained results was realized using a-Si:H thin-film samples. An attempt to estimate the influence of the technological regimes of the growth (time of deposition, pressure of hydrogen in the chamber) on selforganization processes in a-Si:H films was made.
Key words: thin-film structures, order, surface, self-organization, average mutual information, maximal mutual information, two-dimensional detrented fluctuation analysis, correlation properties, scaling index.
