Claim 0:
1. A process chamber for carrying out thermal processes in a manufacture of an electronic assembly comprising:
at least one opening for introducing and/or removing the electronic assembly;
means for supplying a protective gas;
controllable protection means arranged at the opening to reduce escape of protective gas from the process chamber; and
control means that can control the protection means such that, when the electronic assembly passes the opening, an opening cross section of the opening is provided, which corresponds to a cross section of the electronic assembly,
wherein the opening of the process chamber is controlled by the controllable protection means such that the opening is individually adapted to an assembly topography of the electronic assembly so that the area through which protective gas can escape is minimized.
