In the paper the results of a theoretical investigation of the growth process of laser-plasma deposited thin films are discussed. A kinetic approach has been used to establish direct relation between experimental conditions (laser flux density, substrate temperature) and film properties (thickness, structure). The results of some experimental investigations of the deposition process are presented confirming the general conclusions of the developed theoretical model.
