Device and Method

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for depositing materials on either side of a freestanding film using laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition (LA-CVD), and structures formed using same. A freestanding film, which is suspended over a cavity defined in a substrate, is exposed to a fluidic CVD precursor that reacts to form a solid material when exposed to light and/or heat. The freestanding film is then exposed to a laser beam in the presence of the precursor. The CVD precursor preferentially deposits on the surface(s) of the freestanding film.
