Abstract
Huang et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 86, 161911 (2005)] formed arrays of nanobumps on a silicon substrate. They applied a 248nm laser pulse to a surface monolayer of 1-μm-diameter polystyrene spheres. The authors first replicated their experiment with 248nm light. But when 308nm pulses were applied instead, the nanobumps had a different shape and composition. At 248nm, much of the laser light is absorbed in the polystyrene, which serves to quickly distort, melt, and ablate the sphere. At 308nm, very little light is absorbed. The nanobumps from 248nm radiation are organic polymers, while those formed with 308nm pulses are silicon based.
