Abstract

We describe pyrolytic laser assisted chemical vapor deposition of Al from dimethylethylamine-alane with 514 nm radiation from an Ar+ laser. Results from deposition on different substrates, including Pt, Au, W, and Si, provide insight into to thermal and nucleation effects in the laser writing process. High purity Al lines with resistivity close to bulk Al are reported for a range of operating conditions. The relationship between operating parameters and the resulting properties of the deposited lines is investigated. We also demonstrate a two-step fast writing process based on fast laser nucleation of lines followed by selective chemical vapor deposition of Al on the nucleated pattern.
