    Abstract: A deposition source includes a plurality of crucibles that each contains a deposition material. A heat shield provides at least partial thermal isolation for at least one of the plurality of crucibles. A body is included with a plurality of conductance channels. An input of each of the plurality of conductance channels is coupled to an output of a respective one of the plurality of crucibles. A heater increases a temperature of the plurality of crucibles so that each crucible evaporates the deposition material into the plurality of conductance channels. An input of each of a plurality of nozzles is coupled to an output of one of the plurality of conductance channels. Evaporated deposition materials are transported from the crucibles through the conductance channels to the nozzles where the evaporated deposition material is ejected from the plurality of nozzles to form a deposition flux.
