Patent ID: 8778082

Claim:
A point source assembly for a thin film deposition device having a chamber for holding a substrate for receiving a vaporizable material and an opening therein having a first longitudinal axis through which a vaporized deposition material passes therethrough, comprising: a crucible configured for holding and vaporizing a deposition material therein, the crucible being configured for operative engagement to the chamber, said crucible having an opening therein configured for directing therefrom a vaporized form of the deposition material through the opening of the chamber, said crucible having a second longitudinal axis; and means for moving the crucible to vary the orientation of the first and second longitudinal axis with respect to each other during the time when the vaporized material is directed toward the substrate; a flange having a fixed upper portion and a rotatable lower portion, said fixed upper portion of the flange configured for attachment to the chamber; said flange extending around the crucible and attached to the lower portion of the flange; and said lower portion being configured for facilitating rotational movement of the crucible about an axis of rotation coextensive with the first longitudinal axis.
