摘要:
The present invention provides a method for thermal processing a semiconductor wafer wherein the semiconductor wafer is heat-treated by means of flash radiation means constituted by a flash discharge lamp after preheating the semiconductor wafer to a predetermined temperature by means of preheating means, the preheating is performed at a preheating temperature capable of controlling that the maximum tension of the semiconductor wafer when heated by the flash radiation means is to be less than the tense strength of the semiconductor wafer itself.
