Some embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method in which material is deposited upon a surface from an elongated beam (102) having an aperture (104) defined therein through which the material is moved by passive adsorption. The elongated beam can be substantially planar along substantially its entire length, can be oriented at an acute angle with respect to the surface during deposition processes, and can have a length no greater than about 2mm. In some embodiments, the aperture can be elongated, can extend from a material reservoir (106) to a location short of the terminal end of the elongated beam or through the terminal end of the elongated beam, and can have a portion extending through the thickness of the elongated beam.
