Background:

Laser direct writing offers spatial control but is limited in material versatility.
Benchtop chemical synthesis allows diverse material creation but lacks precise patterning.
Integrating these methods can overcome individual limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a high-resolution patterning approach combining laser direct writing and chemical synthesis.
To demonstrate the fabrication of transition metal materials with sub-micrometer features.
To expand the range of materials and chemistries compatible with laser direct writing.

Main Methods:

Utilizing the steep thermal gradient generated by laser heating a metal edge in contact with a solution.
Employing a one-step fabrication process for reduced metallic nickel.
Integrating the patterned materials onto a device platform for property examination.

Main Results:

Achieved feature size resolution nearing 1 micrometer for patterned transition metals.
Successfully demonstrated one-step fabrication of reduced metallic nickel.
Examined electrical properties and air stability of the fabricated materials.

Conclusions:

The developed strategy effectively combines laser direct writing and chemical synthesis for high-resolution patterning.
This approach significantly broadens the scope of materials and chemistries applicable to laser direct writing.
The method shows promise for fabricating functional nanoscale devices.
