Abstract
Direct deposition methods include physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and electroplating or electroless plating, etc. PVD describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods used to deposit thin films onto a workpiece surface by the condensation of a vaporized material. These methods (e.g., magnetron sputtering and plasma bombardment) involve purely physical processes. In comparison, CVD is based on chemical reactions happening at the surface to be coated. However, the line-of-sight nature of both PVD and CVD prevents a complete replication of original 3D biomorphologies. This shading effect can be avoided by metal plating conducted in liquid environments. Electroplating uses electrical current to reduce dissolved metal cations and can form a coherent metal coating on a conductive substrate. However, since biotemplates are usually nonconductive, it is unsuitable to the replication of biostructures.
