    Abstract: Provided is an optical heating apparatus that allows high flexibility in setting an in-plane heating condition for a processing target substrate. The optical heating apparatus includes: a chamber; a supporter to support the processing target substrate; a light source unit including a plurality of heating groups being configured to emit light; and a controller to control electricity supplied to each of the plurality of the heating groups. One of the processing target substrate and the light source unit is configured to rotate relative to an other on a rotation axis. The plurality of the heating groups each include a plurality of light sources, and a nth and (n+1)th circular rotation loci partially overlap each other. The nth and (n+1)th circular rotation loci are drawn by virtual rotation of the light emission region of each light source belonging to a nth and (n+1)th heating group around the rotation axis.
