Laser-Induced Copper Deposition on the Surface of an Oxide Glass from an Electrolyte Solution

摘要

Continuous copper patterns were grown on the surface of oxide glass substrates through laser-induced chemical liquid-phase deposition(LCLD).The deposition was performed with the use of a continuous-wave argon laser operating in a multimode regime.The deposition occurred as a result of the reducing chemical reaction initiated by laser radiation.Continuous metal patterns were produced by scanning focused laser radiation along the substrate-electrolyte interface.The morphology and the chemical composition of the deposited patterns were examined with the use of a CEM-SCAN 4 DV scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive spectrometer.The morphology of the deposited patterns was investigated as a function of the laser radiation power and the number of scans.It was demonstrated that high-quality continuous patterns can be fabricated using one scan of the laser beam.
