Abstract Two techniques were studied in an effort to direct write diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. The first process employed a pulsed YAG laser to decompose a frozen precursor and deposit thin films directly on SiC and 304 stainless steel. After the initial film is deposited, additional layers may be subsequently condensed and deposited onto the substrate. A second approach is considered, whereby, the pulsed YAG is used to ablate the frozen precursor target and deposit a film on a nearby SiO2 substrate that was locally heated by a C02 laser in an effort to augment the surface reaction rates.
