A simple strategy for generating and distributing metallic nanoparticles in polymer matrix with a spatial control in micrometer/nanometer scale has been proposed and successfully demonstrated by combination of two-photon photoreduction and femtosecond laser interference technique. The simultaneous spatially controlling generation and organization of metallic nanopartciles were controllable by designing interference patterns and varying laser intensity and exposure time. This strategy provides a simple and rapid approach for creating templates with designed spatial distribution of the nanoparticles, which is favorable for current microelectronics technology. This method also can be utilized in developing mass production processes for future nanodevices.
