Abstract
Photodissociation of a thin surface layer of metal-alkyl molecules with a UV laser is shown to be an effective technique for predisposing the irradiated region to subsequent film growth. The efficacy of this technique, termed ’’prenucleation,’’ can be understood using a simple mathematical model for the early stages of thin-film formation. The technique has applications in direct writing of microstructures.
