Abstract

A method and system for depositing a layer from a vaporized solid precursor. The method includes providing a substrate in a process chamber of a deposition system, forming a precursor vapor by light-induced vaporization of a solid precursor, and exposing the substrate to a process gas containing the precursor vapor to deposit a layer including at least one element from the precursor vapor on the substrate.
