1. A device having a plurality of layers, extending substantially transverse to a lateral aspect of the device, the lateral aspect comprising a first region and a second region, wherein the layers comprise:
a substrate extending across the first region and the second region; and
a conductive coating supported by the substrate and disposed along the second region only;
wherein the conductive coating is formed by actions comprising:
depositing a nucleation inhibiting coating on the substrate along the first region only; and
subjecting the substrate and the nucleation inhibiting coating to a vapor flux of a conductive coating material for which the nucleation inhibiting coating has a low initial sticking probability, so that the conductive coating forms primarily where the substrate is substantially devoid of the nucleation inhibiting coating.
