Abstract:
1. An apparatus for processing a dielectric material, the apparatus comprising: a radiation source module comprising a reflector, an ultraviolet radiation source, and a plate transmissive to the wavelengths of about 150 nm to about 300 nm, to define a sealed interior region, wherein the sealed interior region is in fluid communication with a first fluid source; an optical filter comprising a mesh screen having a plurality of openings; a process chamber module coupled to the radiation source module to define a sealed chamber in operative communication with the ultraviolet radiation source, the process chamber comprising a closable opening adapted to receive a substrate, a support adapted to support the substrate, and a gas inlet in fluid communication with a second fluid source, wherein the optical filter is intermediate the radiation source and the substrate; and a loadlock chamber module in operative communication with the process chamber; the loadlock chamber comprising an airlock chamber in fluid communication with a third fluid source and the support.
