Abstract: A ring support is attached to an inner wall surface of a chamber that houses a semiconductor wafer to support a susceptor. When the semiconductor wafer is placed on the susceptor, an inner space of the chamber is separated into an upper space and a lower space. Particles are likely to accumulate on a lower chamber window as a floor part of the chamber. However, since the upper space and the lower space are separated, the semiconductor wafer can be prevented from being contaminated by the particles flowing into the upper space and adhering to a surface of the semiconductor wafer even when the particles on the lower chamber window are blown up by irradiation with flash light.

Abstract: A plurality of substrate support pins are erected on a susceptor that holds a semiconductor wafer that is an object being treated. The plurality of substrate support pins are set in a ring shape at equal intervals. A flash lamp irradiates the semiconductor wafer supported by the plurality of substrate support pins with flash light to heat the semiconductor wafer. The radius of a setting circle in which the plurality of substrate support pins are set is made larger as the pulse width of flash light emitted from the flash lamp decreases. To irradiate the semiconductor wafer with flash light while having the semiconductor wafer supported by the plurality of substrate support pins can prevent cracking of the semiconductor wafer despite possible abrupt deformation of the semiconductor wafer due to the flash-light irradiation.
