  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DEPOSITING SILICON ON A SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20140295105
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for depositing silicon on a substrate using a focused beam of charged particles. A precursor containing silicon is provided, said precursor being dissociated by the beam in the immediate vicinity of the substrate. The aim of the invention is to allow the deposition of silicon on a substrate in a particularly effective way, material-protecting and precise manner. For this purpose, polysilane is used as the precursor.
