Abstract

We have deposited thin metal films of Mo and W with sub-μm lateral resolution using the photodissociation of the carbonyls by the frequency doubled radiation of an Arion laser at cw and ps-pulse operation, respectively. In both regimes similar curves are obtained for the intensity dependence of the deposition rate. No difference was observed for the lateral resolution using cw or ps-pulse irradiation. Measurements of the deposition rate as a function of the spot size indicate that the decomposition occurs in the adsorbed phase.
