    摘要: Embodiments of the invention contemplate a method, apparatus and system that are used to support, position, and rotate a substrate during processing. Embodiments of the invention may also include a method of controlling the transfer of heat between a substrate and substrate support positioned in a processing chamber. The apparatus and methods described herein remove the need for complex, costly and often unreliable components that would be required to accurately position and rotate a substrate during one or more processing steps, such as an rapid thermal processing (RTP) process, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, atomic layer deposition (ALD) process, dry etching process, wet clean, and/or laser annealing process.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein generally relate to apparatus for heating substrates. The apparatus generally include a process chamber having a substrate support therein. A plurality of lamps is positioned to provide radiant energy through an optically transparent dome to a substrate positioned on the substrate support. A light focusing assembly is positioned within the chamber to influence heating and temperature distribution on the substrate and to facilitate formation of a film on a substrate having uniform properties, such as density. The light focusing assembly can include one or more reflectors, light pipes, or refractive lenses.
