The authors have studied the characteristics of tungsten (W) and carbon (C) thin films, and W/C multilayers prepared by ArF excimer-laser-induced chemical vapor deposition using tungsten hexafluoride and benzene gases. Amorphous W and C films with very smooth surfaces were obtained at substrate temperatures of 100--200 {degree}C and 100--300 {degree}C, respectively. In small-angle x-ray scattering measurements for the multilayers deposited at 200 {degree}C, a first order of multilayer reflections were clearly observed. Furthermore, Auger electron spectroscopy showed that W and C layers in the multilayers were periodically deposited.
