Claim:
1. A chemical vapor deposition reactor for simultaneously depositing from a precursor gas thin films on a multiplicity of wafers comprising: a first lamp module, comprising a wafer sleeve configured for enclosing said multiplicity of wafers, comprising a pair of wafer carrier plates to which the multiplicity of wafers are attachable to interior surfaces of both of said first pair of wafer carrier plates by mounting structures, and a first illumination window; a reactor frame for supporting said first lamp module, wherein said first illumination window is fixed between said first lamp module and said reactor frame; a first inlet for process gas into said wafer sleeve disposed on a first side of said reactor frame; and a first outlet for exhausting gas disposed on a second side of said reactor frame wherein said second side of said reactor frame is on an opposite side of said wafer sleeve from said first side of said reactor frame; wherein said wafer sleeve is transportable into the reactor and exposable to said first lamp module within the reactor and, after completion of said deposition of a thin film on the multiplicity of wafers, is removable from the reactor with the wafers, and wherein each one of the pair of wafer carrier plates is configured for the attachment of at least two of said multiplicity of wafers along a direction of as flow from said first gas inlet to said first gas outlet.
