Abstract:
1. A heating device comprising: a heating chamber contained in a processing vessel for heating and processing, and provided with heating plates for heating a substrate; a carrier device which transversely carries a substrate placed at a waiting position positioned at a neighboring side of the heating chamber and outside the heating chamber into the heating chamber in the processing vessel, the carrier device carrying the substrate in a direction from a front end of the substrate to a rear end of the substrate, the carrier device being contained in the processing vessel for heating and processing; and a temperature distribution creation device which creates a preheating temperature distribution for compensating an initial temperature distribution occurring in a surface of the substrate when the substrate is carried into the heating chamber from the waiting position, wherein the temperature distribution creation device creates a preheating temperature distribution in which temperatures of parts of the substrate nearer to the rear end of the substrate are higher than that of the front end of the substrate.
