Title: Heat-treating methods and systems
Inventor: CAMM DAVID MALCOLM
IPC: F27D99/00
Filed: 2001-12-04
Abstract: A workpiece 34 such as a semiconductor wafer is pre-heated to an intermediate temperature (Fig 4: TI) then a surface 46 of the workpiece is heated rapidly, for a time period less than the thermal conduction time of the workpiece, to a temperature (fig 4: TD) greater than the intermediate temperature. An arc lamp or filament lamp 32 may be used for pre-heating, and a flashlamp or laser 36 may be used for heating. Pre-heating and heating may be achieved using radiation sources disposed on either side of the wafer, and radiation may be transmitted though a selective filter which is cooled by a liquid flow across the surface of a quartz window 65, 71. Cooling of the workpiece may be enhanced by absorbing radiation thermally emitted by the workpiece.
