Selective area depositon of adherent tungsten (W) film on titanium (Ti)—ion—irradiated silicon dioxide (SiOz) is achieved. First, Ti—ion irradiation through a stencil mask is performed at 600 eV for 1.1 X 1016 atoms/cm2 in a reaction chamber. Next, ArF excimer laser (λ = 193 nm) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with tungsten hexafluoride (WFs) and hydrogen (H2) is carried out for 40 seconds at 400 K. Finally, low—pressure (LP) CVD is carried out at 600 K and then W films are deposited selectively on the ion—irradiated SiO2 Without the laser CVD step, the ion—irradiation pattern disappears during LPCVD and no W film deposition occurs. Therefore, laser CVD is essential in our experiments.
