Claim 10:
11. A thermal processing chamber comprising:
a chamber body comprising a lower transparent plate and an upper transparent plate;
a susceptor positioned between the upper transparent plate and the lower transparent plate;
a pivot mechanism coupled to the lower transparent plate, the pivot mechanism having a hole;
a stem assembly coupled to the susceptor, the stem assembly including a stem extending at least partially 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 lower transparent plate, the motion assembly comprising:
a rotary stage; and
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 motion assembly comprises at least two flexible seals, wherein the lateral adjustment device comprises an X adjustment plate and a Y adjustment plate that are coupled to adjacent sides of a base plate disposed adjacent to one of the at least two flexible seals, and wherein the pivot mechanism is configured to provide angular movement of the motion assembly relative to the chamber body.
