We have mapped the distribution of the C9Oα line toward W3 with 90" resolution. The emission is centered at α=602h21m50s.6±δ=61°52'31"±9 (1950), that is, southwest of W3A (IRS 2) and toward W3 B (IRS 3). If the source and the beam are Gaussian shaped, the deconvolved source size is (121" ± 17", 88" ± 15") in (α, δ). The carbon emission covers a region which includes all of the compact radio continuum sources at the center of the W3 complex. The C II emission region shows a velocity gradient: from -39 km s-1 in the east to - 42 km s-1 in the west. It is not possible to derive uniquely the electron temperature and density of the partially ionized gas from our data or from our data in conjunction with other C II results. The carbon region may consist of shells surrounding the compact H II regions.
