AbstractWe have investigated the decomposition of single-crystal InP surfaces irradiated by a 193 nm ArF excimer laser. These studies provide insight into mechanisms of thermal decomposition, surface diffusion and epitaxy. Pulsed laser exposure leads to evolution of P2 from the surface which is detected by resonance fluorescence resulting from a fortuitous overlap of the v″ = 0 with the laser frequency. P2-evolution occurs above a threshold fluence of 0.12 J/cm2 and lags the peak laser intensity by ∼20 nsec. These observations are explained by a thermally activated decomposition mechanism, as opposed to any direct, photochemical ejection process. Peak surface temperatures have been calculated and are used to predict P2 yields as a function of fluence and time which are in good agreement with experiments. These findings are also discussed in relation to previous studies of excimer laser stimulated growth of InP.

ABSTRACTA Fluorocarbon resin surface was selectively modified by irradiation with a ArF laser beam through a thin layer of NaAlO2, B(OH)3, or H2O solution to give a hydrophilic property. As a result, with low fluence, the surface was most effectively modified with the NaAlO2 solution among the three solutions. However, the contact angle in this case changed by 10 degrees as the fluence changed only 1mJ/cm2. When modifying a large area of the surface, high resolution displacement could not be achieved because the laser beam was not uniform in displacing functional groups. Thus, the laser fluence was successfully made uniform by homogenizing the laser beam; the functional groups were replaced on the fluorocarbon resin surface with high resolution, which was successfully modified to be hydrophilic by distributing the laser fluence uniformly.
