Abstract

Excimer laser induced ablative decomposition of polyimide and poly(methylmethacrylate) at high fluences (> 1 J/cm2) is discussed. It is shown that 0.4 μm sized features can be imaged in polyimide using ArF laser pulses. Preliminary results from experiments in which copper particles (<1 μm in size) have been deposited by exposing thin films of a copper formate and glycerol paste to KrF laser radiation are presented.
