    Abstract: A deposition system is disclosed that allows for growth of inclined c-axis piezoelectric material structures. The system integrates various sputtering modules to yield high quality films and is designed to optimize throughput lending it to a high-volume in manufacturing environment. The system includes two or more process modules including an off-axis module constructed to deposit material at an inclined c-axis and a longitudinal module constructed to deposit material at normal incidence; a central wafer transfer unit including a load lock, a vacuum chamber, and a robot disposed within the vacuum chamber and constructed to transfer a wafer substrate between the central wafer transfer unit and the two or more process modules; and a control unit operatively connected to the robot.
