A continuum model for growth of solids is developed, considering adatom\ndeposition, surface diffusion, and configuration dependent incorporation rate.\nFor amorphous solids it is related to surface energy densities. The high adatom\ndensity leads to growth enhanced dynamics of (a) Mullins' classical equation\n[J. Appl. Phys. bf 28, 333 (1957)] without, and (b) of the\nAsaro-Tiller-Grinfeld-Srolovitz instability with lateral stress in the growing\nfilm. The latter mechanism is attributed to morphologies found in recent\nexperiments.\n
