Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Abstract

Metal, dielectric and semiconductor films have been deposited by laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) using both pulsed and cw laser sources on a variety of substrates. For LCVD on substrates such as quartz, the deposition was monitored optically in both transmission and reflection using a collinear visible laser and the depositing CO2 laser. Deposition initiation and rate were correlated with irradiation conditions, the laser generated surface temperature, and the changing optical properties of the film/substrate during deposition. Single crystallites of W greater than 100 micrometers tall were deposited using a Kr laser on Si substrates. (Author)
