Abstract
A method for depositing a coating layer on at least a part of a surface of a substrate is described. The method includes supplying a coating substance to at least part of a surface of a substrate. The substrate is subjected to a relative movement with respect to a source of the coating substance. The surface tension of the coating substance is modified, at least locally, at least part of the time while the at least part of the substrate is subjected to the movement. A thickness of the coating layer is influenced by modifying the surface tension of the coating substance.
