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 9):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computer is programmed to raise the substrate temperature from below about 500\u00b0 C. to greater than about 500\u00b0 C. after loading the substrate onto the substrate support.
