A method of manufacturing an electrical component includes providing an electrically insulating substrate having an outer surface, applying a coated structure on the outer surface and irradiating the coated structure with an electron beam to form an electrical conductor on the substrate. The irradiating may include heating the coating layer to melt the coating layer to form the electrical conductor. The coating layer may have a low binder concentration and a high metal concentration. The irradiating may include vaporizing substantially all the binder leaving a substantially pure metallic layer to form the electrical conductor. The coating layer may be irradiated until non-metallic material of the coating layer is completely removed.

A method of manufacturing a coated structure on a substrate includes positioning a substrate in a vapor deposition chamber having a crucible with source material. The method includes evaporating the source material with electron beams from an irradiation source, the evaporated source material being deposited on the substrate as a coating layer. The method includes ablating the coating layer with the electron beams to selectively remove portions of the coating layer leaving a circuit structure on the substrate. The evaporating and ablating are accomplished in situ within the vapor deposition chamber using the same irradiation source.

Methods of manufacturing a coated structure on a substrate

The invention relates to a coating () made up of a metal layer (), in which a lubricant () which can be released by wear is embedded. In order to provide a wear-resistant coating () which is simply structured and economical to produce, the invention provides for the lubricant () to consist of an at least singly branched organic compound (). The present invention further relates to a self-lubricating component () with a coating () according to the invention applied at least in certain portions, to a method for producing a coating (), and also to a coating electrolyte () comprising at least one type of metal ions and at least one lubricant () consisting of an at least singly branched organic compound ().
