High deposition rate laser direct writing of Al on Si

Abstract
We report, for the first time, the direct write laser patterning of highly conductive Al from a liquid precursor, triisobutylaluminum (TIBA). Al wires were written on Si with a scanned Ar+ laser from liquid TIBA at speeds of up to several mm/s. Wires 3 μm wide by 1 μm high with a resistivity of 5.6 μΩ cm were routinely achievable.
