Rapid thermal processing systems use arrays of high-intensity lamps to heat individual wafers quickly to precise temperatures, enabling short-duration thermal steps.
The system controls the temperature ramp-up, soak, and cool-down phases with closed-loop feedback from pyrometers or thermocouples, achieving uniform heating across the wafer.
Rapid thermal processing is used after deposition, ion implantation, or etching steps to activate dopants, form silicides, anneal defects, or grow thin oxides.
The system can be used in CMOS logic, memory, and analog device fabrication for dopant activation, contact formation, and gate dielectric processing.
