Abstract
Films of column IIIA metals (In, Al, and Tl) have been deposited on several different substrates (stainless steel, nickel, copper, and silver) by dissociatively photoionizing the corresponding metal iodide in a uniform electric field. Thin (≲0.2 μm) indium films have been grown on nickel by photoionizing indium monoiodide (InI) vapor with an argon fluoride (ArF) excimer laser at 193 nm. A similar process has resulted in thallium films produced from thallium iodide (TlI) vapor with a high pressure xenon lamp.
