In various embodiments, a method of forming a structured layer (202) on a substrate (102) may comprise the following: coating the substrate (102) with a layer (202) to be structured that has a target material (202t) and a sacrificial material (202o), where, in the course of coating, the sacrificial material (202o) is disposed in a plurality of mutually separate regions of the layer (202) and the target material (202t) is disposed between them and/or over them, so that the sacrificial material (202o) is embedded into the target material (202t) and/or between the target material (202t) and the substrate (102); where the disposing of the sacrificial material (202o) and/or of the target material (202t) comprises disposing a plurality of particulate solids (104) over the substrate (102), where the plurality of particulate solids disposed over the substrate come from a particle stream; removing the sacrificial material (202o), so that the plurality of regions of the layer (202) are opened. |
