Making multi-component structures using dynamic menisci

A method for making a multi-component structure, wherein the method comprises:

• delivering a plurality of galvanic solutions at least in part different from each other for corresponding components of the multi-component structure through corresponding delivering ports being open on an operative surface of a deposition head,
• removing the galvanic solutions delivered on the operative surface through a plurality of removing ports, for each of the delivering ports at least one of the removing ports being open on the operative surface at least in part around the delivering port, thereby creating corresponding dynamic drops each formed by the galvanic solution remaining attached in fixed position on the operative surface with a content of the dynamic drop that is continuously refreshed by a flow of the galvanic solution from the delivering port to the removing port,
• individually setting corresponding deposition currents for the galvanic solutions as a function of an amount of the components of the galvanic solutions in the multi-component structure,
• bringing a substrate and a plurality of groups each of one or more of the dynamic drops into contact with each other in succession repeatedly during a relative movement of the substrate and the deposition head along a sliding direction alternately in a first orientation and in a second orientation opposite the first orientation, the dynamic drops transforming into corresponding dynamic menisci between the operative surface and the substrate when entering into contact with the substrate and returning the dynamic drops when separating from the substrate, and
• applying the deposition currents at least between the galvanic solutions of the groups of dynamic drops and the substrate thereby causing the dynamic menisci to galvanically deposit layers of the corresponding components of the multi-component structure onto the substrate.
