Abstract:
A system and methods are provided for low temperature, rapid baking to remove impurities from a semiconductor surface prior to in-situ deposition. The system is configured with an upper bank of heat elements perpendicular to the gas flow path, such that when the substrate is heated, the temperature across the substrate can be maintained relatively uniform via zoned heating. Advantageously, a short, low temperature process is suitable for advanced, high density circuits with shallow junctions. Furthermore, throughput is greatly improved by the low temperature bake.

Claim (Index 14):
The system of  claim 13 , further comprising a substrate support within the reaction chamber to support the substrate from below, wherein the computer is programmed to maintain a ratio of power delivered to the upper bank of lamps to power delivered to the lower bank of lamps at a value greater than a neutral ratio of power between the upper bank and the lower bank during the bake, wherein the neutral ratio of power is defined as a power ratio that is optimized to equalize a substrate temperature and a substrate support temperature.
