Abstract

See full text

Microwave energy is used as a radiation source for rapid thermal processing of semiconductor wafers. In one aspect, a hybrid material formed from a microwave modulator material is used to provide temperature uniformity across the wafer and to avoid cracking or breaking of wafers due to the development of thermal stresses. In another aspect, microwave-generated atmospheric pressure plasma is used to heat the wafer either directly or indirectly.
