%X We introduce a new kinetic interface model suitable for simulating adsorption-reaction processes which take place preferentially at surface defects such as steps and vacancies. As the average interface velocity is taken to zero, the self- affine interface with Kardar-Parisi-Zhang like scaling behaviour undergoes a delocalization transition with critical exponents that fall into a novel universality class. As the critical point is approached, the interface becomes a multi-valued, multiply connected self-similar fractal set. The scaling behaviour and critical exponents of the relevant correlation functions are determined from Monte Carlo simulations and scaling arguments.
