Abstract

Continuous copper patterns were grown on the surface of oxide glass substrates through laserinduced chemical liquid-phase deposition (LCLD). The deposition was performed with the use of a continuouswave 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.
