ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention generally provide an apparatus and a method for providing a uniform thermal profile to a plurality of substrates during heat processing. In one embodiment, a cassette containing one or more heated substrate supports is moveably disposed within a heating chamber having an about uniform thermal profile therein to more uniformly heat the substrates.
