Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A heating device has a heating chamber 3 . An initial temperature distribution is created in a surface of a substrate (wafer W) when the substrate is carried into the heating chamber 3 . . . Temperature distribution creating means (heating lamps 2 ) creates a preheating temperature distribution in the substrate supported on a cooling plate 4 at a waiting position before the substrate is carried into the heating chamber 3 so as to level out the initial temperature distribution.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A heating device comprising: a heating chamber contained in a processing vessel for heating and processing, and provided with heating plates for heating a substrate; a carrier device which transversely carries a substrate placed at a waiting position positioned at a neighboring side of the heating chamber and outside the heating chamber into the heating chamber in the processing vessel, the carrier device carrying the substrate in a direction from a front…
