  • Methods and apparatus for transferring a material onto a substrate using a resonant infrared pulsed laser
    Publication number: 20090169868
    Abstract: A method for transferring a material onto a substrate. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of directing a coherent light of a wavelength resonant with a vibrational mode of the material at the material to vaporize the material, depositing the vaporized material on the substrate in a form that is essentially same chemically as the material, and selectively heating the deposited material at one or more positions of the substrate to form a film thereon.
