Abstract

Laser direct writing of metal lines from solid metalorg. films coated on surfaces has been studied in three systems. Copper deposition from Cu(HCOO)2.2H2O was carried out at higher writing speeds than previously attained. Direct writing of iridium lines from two novel Ir-cluster films [Ir4(CO)11Br][N(C2H5)4] and [Ir6(CO)15][N(CH3)3C8H17]2 was demonstrated. The copper and iridium lines were written on Pyrex. It was found that inhomogeneities in the metalorg. layer are crucial to the quality of the deposited metal. Laser writing of iridium at several cm s-1 gives lines of about 10 mm width, with elec. resistivities of the order of 10 times the bulk value.

Laser printing

Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process. It produces high-quality text and graphics (and moderate-quality photographs) by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder called a "drum" to define a differentially charged image. The drum then selectively collects electrically charged powdered ink (toner), and transfers the image to paper, which is then heated to permanently fuse the text, imagery, or both, to the paper.

Chemical vapor deposition

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a vacuum deposition method used to produce high-quality, and high-performance, solid materials. The process is often used in the semiconductor industry to produce thin films. In typical CVD, the wafer (substrate) is exposed to one or more volatile precursors, which react and/or decompose on the substrate surface to produce the desired deposit. Frequently, volatile by-products are also produced, which are removed by gas flow through the reaction chamber.

Laser pointer

A laser pointer or laser pen is a small handheld device with a power source (usually a battery) and a laser diode emitting a very narrow coherent low-powered laser beam of visible light, intended to be used to highlight something of interest by illuminating it with a small bright spot of colored light. The small width of the beam and low power of typical laser pointers make the beam itself invisible in a clean atmosphere, only showing a point of light when striking an opaque surface.
