Abstract:
1. A method for fabrication of miniature structures, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a fabrication tool, including: whereby when said fabrication tool is in said material removal mode of operation, further providing a direct access of said energy beam to said surface of said substrate and cleaning said surface of said substrate by changing a relative disposition between said energy beam and said substrate in accordance with a first predetermined pattern; and, (b) providing a material carrier element having a deposition layer supported thereon and facing said substrate, whereby when said fabrication tool is in said material transfer mode of operation further including positioning said deposition layer in an interception path with said energy beam, and changing a relative disposition between said energetic beam and said substrate in accordance with said first predetermined pattern, thereby transferring a deposition material contained in said deposition layer on said surface of said substrate at locations thereon cleaned during said material removal mode of operation.
