Abstract

See full text

A method for depositing a particle on a work piece is disclosed. The housing is coupled to the work piece to form a chamber and a separation distance between a surface of the work piece and a surface of the housing is controlled using a coupling device. A working gas having a particle entrained therein is directed within the chamber to deposit the particle at the work piece. The coupling between the housing and the work piece may be a slidable coupling. The coupling device may include an air-bearing surface or a gasketed coupling.
