Claim 0:
1. A thermal processing chamber comprising:
a chamber body;
a susceptor positioned in the chamber body;
a pivot mechanism coupled to the chamber body, the pivot mechanism having a hole;
a stem coupled to the susceptor, the stem extending through the hole of the pivot mechanism, the hole sized to accommodate radial movement of the stem within the hole; and
a motion assembly coupled to the stem outside of the chamber body, the motion assembly comprising a lateral adjustment device and a tilt adjustment mechanism, both the lateral adjustment device and the tilt adjustment mechanism adapted to position a major surface of the susceptor in a plane that is parallel to an X-Y plane of the chamber body and position the stem along a longitudinal axis of the chamber body, wherein the pivot mechanism is configured to provide angular movement of the motion assembly relative to the chamber body.
