ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for heating substrates, such as semiconductor wafers. A radiation energy source is arranged proximate to a reflector to direct radiation towards a window providing optical access to a processing chamber. A lens positioned outside of the window focuses the radiation emitted from the radiation energy source and reflector and directs it through the window. The focused radiation energy can be used to directly or indirectly heat a semiconductor wafer disposed the processing chamber.
