Perylene molecules have been successfully implanted onto borosilicate glass plates, forming fluorescent features of 420 nm in diameter, using a method involving laser induced molecular micro-jet ejection through a water layer. The technique utilises a polymer source film in which perylene molecules are dispersed, a borosilicate glass substrate as a target and a pulsed laser. The space gap between the source film and the target is filled with liquid water. Perylene molecules dispersed in the polymer source films are photo-excited using 4-ns laser pulses resulting in the ejection of the molecules from the source matrix after which they become implanted into the target after passing through the water layer. This new advanced implantation method, using a laser induced molecular micro-jet through water, gives fine spatial control for fixing functional organic molecules in a designated region on hard dielectric materials and will have application in the fabrication of molecular devices, molecular sensors, and opto-electronics.
