Abstract The gas immersion laser doping (GILD) technique requires the measurement of the fraction of incident light absorbed in the gas phase during the irradiation with a pulsed laser. Here we report the absorption of boron trichloride (BCl3) gas at the wavelength of a pulsed ArF excimer laser (λ=193 nm). We have determined the one-photon (σ1) and two-photon (σ) absorption cross sections of this dopant gas for 193 nm. The values of σ1 and σ are 3.6×10−20 cm2 and 9×10−45 cm4·s, respectively. However, the distinction between simultaneous and sequential absorption has not been possible. Based on these results, we have established a relationship which allows the calculation of the fraction of incident light absorbed as a function of incident intensity and gas pressure.
