Abstract
Micron-sized deposition and etching of W in WF6 + H2 atmosphere is investigated by local laser-induced heating of thin tungsten layers on quartz substrates. The process is strongly dependent on the partial pressures of the two gases. A process with high amount of hydrogen permits deposition of W, whereas etching of W occurs if the working gas does not contain hydrogen.
