We have investigated the condensation process of Si nano-sized particles in pulsed-laser ablation process by two-dimensional laser induced fluorescence (2D-LIF) and ultra-violet laser light scattering (UV-LLS) techniques. The spatial distributions of the particles condensed in gas phase, observed by these techniques, showed that the particles flew beyond the substrate and the deposition efficiency was low. We proposed the controlling of the behavior of particles by an electric field. Observed results showed that the most particles moved along the electric field, and that showed the particles were charged. The numbers of the deposited particles onto a substrate increased by an electric field.
