Popis: The distribution of metal-precursors supplied via a gas injection system to the substrate inside a focused electron beam (FEB) induced deposition system is investigated for the first time. The impinging precursor molecules are thermally decomposed using a heating stage. Resulting deposit thickness profiles obtained from [(PF"3)"2RhCl]"2, Co"2(CO)"8, and (hfac)CuVTMS precursors are determined optically by interference colors or by profilometry. FEB access to the precursor flux peak and the flux peak value itself depend on tube tilt and vertical tube distance to the substrate. Monte Carlo simulation match best the experiments when assuming molecular flow conditions.
