	Physical vapor deposition chamber having an adjustable target patent invention
		PVD is a plasma process performed in a vacuum chamber where negatively biased target (typically, a magnetron target) is exposed to a plasma of an inert gas having relatively heavy atoms (e.g., argon (Ar)) or a gas mixture comprising such inert gas.
		During film deposition in the PVD chamber 100, the rotational motion of the substrate pedestal 126 compensates for such spatial non-uniformity of the flux of the sputtered material and deposit, on the rotating substrate 130, highly uniform films.
		For example, the PVD chamber 400 where the target assemblies 410A-410D comprise targets 118 formed from different materials may be used to deposit in-situ multi-layered film stacks of highly uniform films of such materials or their mixtures.

	Physical Vapor Deposition by Evaporation
		In PVD by sputtering, the material to be deposited as a film is converted into vapor by bombarding the source material with high-energy particles or ions.
		In PVD by evaporation, the conversion into vapor phase is achieved by applying heat to the source material, causing it to undergo evaporation.
		Vapor pressure greater than 1.5 Pa is needed in order to achieve deposition rates which are high enough for manufacturing purposes.

		Atoms are vaporized from yttrium, barium and copper ingots by a high-energy electron beam, and the vapor jets proceed through the low-pressure chamber toward a deposition substrate.
		The atoms that vaporize from the surfaces of the yttrium, barium and copper ingots, at the bottom of the figure, quickly undergo expansion in the deposition chamber that results in a rapid decrease of the number density.
		Therefore the possibility of the atoms to transport from the vaporized ingot surface to the substrate is increased by the atomic collisions.
