            Abstract : 
We deposited SiO/sub 2/ films at room temperature by 193-nm ArF laser ablation of silicone rubber in an oxygen atmosphere. For fabricating SiO/sub 2/ films, we found the optimum conditions of laser fluence and oxygen gas pressure. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra of films deposited at two different laser fluences are shown.
