Paper
Laser chemical vapor deposition of gold
Abstract
High quality gold spots and lines have been deposited from gaseous dimethyl (2, 4-pentanedionato) gold (III) using a focused argon ion laser. Growth rates of 1 μm/s at power densities of 4×105 W/cm2 were obtained. Resistivity, threshold writing power densities, and deposition rates were measured and their relationship to the physical and chemical properties of the gaseous complex are explored.
