Abstract

Thin film patterns of desired shape or configuration made of about 15 μm - lines were directly written from a disk of C60 by employing a new laser technique called direct laser patterned deposition (DLPD). DLPD is an ambient technique, needing no special environment or material preparation. Since the ablation and deposition are very localized and deposition and patterning are done in one step this is a very cost efficient process. An energy density threshold was found. Above this density resistance of DLPD films dropped sharply indicating that the C60 cage was broken at least in part of the film.
