The past decades have resulted in a number of new insights on effective morphology controlled by variations in the static and dynamic substrate positioning. We have undergone an effort to design and fabricate a multifunctional electron beam deposition system with capabilities including glancing angle, rocking, and rotating drum deposition. Of the specific challenges, the ability to design a servo controlled horizontally rotating drum that also exhibits the ability to adjust the deposition height in the vertical direction presented an acute mechanical design challenge. We present our perspective on the mechanical design and initial implementation of this drive system along with the general chamber design.
