Abstract

See full text

After treatment of a preceding lot is completed, warm up treatment is started. In the warm up treatment, an in-chamber structure such as a susceptor is kept at a constant heat-retaining temperature by light irradiation from a halogen lamp. When a signal to pay out a lot is received while the warm up treatment is performed, the treatment proceeds to conditioning treatment. In the conditioning treatment, the in-chamber structure like the susceptor and so on is temperature-controlled to a stable temperature by repeatedly performing light irradiation on a dummy wafer held on the susceptor, the light irradiation being similar to that performed on a semiconductor wafer included in a lot to be treated. Performing the conditioning treatment after the warm up treatment is performed enables the in-chamber structure to be temperature-controlled to the stable temperature in a short time.
