A method of manufacturing a compound object, such as an antenna, is disclosed. The method includes creating, via additive manufacturing, a first component formed at least in part of an oxidizing metal; applying, via vapor deposition, a solderable coating to at least a portion of the first component; and soldering at least a portion of the first component to a second component by applying a solder to the solderable coating of the first component. The oxidizing metal may be a titanium alloy, such as Ti-6Al-4V. The solderable coating may include copper and/or tin-lead.

Solderable coating for additive manufactured oxidizing metals

Systems and methods for building passive and active electronics with diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are provided herein. DLC may be layered upon substrates to form various components of electronic devices. Passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors may be built using DLC as a dielectric or as an insulating layer. Active components such as diodes and transistors may be built with the DLC acting substantially like a semiconductor. The amount of spand spbonded carbon atoms may be varied to modify the properties of the DLC for various electronic components.
