Photothermal Laser Printing of Sub-Micrometer Crystalline ZnO Structures.

ABSTRACT: During light-driven 3D additive manufacturing, an object represented in digital form is initially translated into a spatial distribution of light intensity (sequentially or in parallel), which then results in a spatial material distribution. To date, this process typically proceeds by photoexcitation of small functional molecules, leading to photochemically induced crosslinking of soft materials. Alternatively, thermal triggers can be employed, yet thermal processes are often slow and provide only low spatial localization. Nevertheless, sub-micrometer ZnO structures for functional microelectronic devices have recently been laser-printed. Herein, the photothermal laser-printing of ZnO is advanced by i) introducing single-crystalline rather than amorphous sub-micrometer ZnO shapes that cryst
