Abstract: A semiconductor wafer to be treated is heated at a first preheating temperature ranging from 100 to 200° C. while a pressure in a chamber housing the semiconductor wafer is reduced to a pressure lower than an atmospheric pressure. After the semiconductor wafer is preheated to increase the temperature into a second preheating temperature ranging from 500 to 700° C. while the pressure in the chamber is restored to a pressure higher than the reduced pressure, a flash lamp emits a flashlight to a surface of the semiconductor wafer. Heating the semiconductor wafer at the first preheating temperature that is a relatively low temperature enables, for example, the moisture absorbed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer in trace amounts to be desorbed from the surface, and also enables the flash heating treatment to be performed with oxygen derived from such absorption removed as much as possible.

Abstract: The semiconductor wafer is preheated at a preheating temperature, and then irradiated with a flash of light from a flash lamp. The upper radiation thermometer measures a temperature of a front-surface of a semiconductor wafer which is raised by irradiation with a flash of light. When the front-surface temperature of the semiconductor wafer measured by the upper radiation thermometer reaches the target temperature, the supply of a current to the flash lamps is stopped to lower the front-surface temperature of the semiconductor wafer. Since the supply of a current to the flash lamps is stopped when the measured temperature of the front-surface of the semiconductor wafer reaches the target temperature, the front-surface temperature of the semiconductor wafer can be accurately raised to the target temperature regardless of the front-surface state and reflectance of the semiconductor wafer.
