Abstract

Monocrystalline silicon target was irradiated with a nitrogen laser beam (λ = 337 nm, maximum energy density 1.1 J/cm2, pulse duration 6 ns and repetition rate 0.2 Hz). The plasma formed at the silicon surface was observed spetroscopically in air (ne = 3×1018 cm-3, Te = 18 500 K) and in vacuum (ne = 6.5×1017 cm-3, Te = 16 000 K). The irradiated surface in vacuum was studied by a metallographic microscope. Droplets were created at crater edges. Their formation is explained by the hydrodynamical sputtering model.
