Abstract
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.
