Abstract: A heater block according to the present invention comprises a light-emitting lamp; a concave reflecting member that is placed opposite the lamp and has a concave reflecting surface at one surface faced with the lamp; a lens module that is inserted into the concave reflecting member and has at least one lens; and a flat reflecting member that is placed opposite the lens module.

Then, light and heat are collected from the reflected light by the flat reflecting member and the lens module and are irradiated on a substrate. That is, light having energy greater than a conventional manner is irradiated on the substrate to enhance the instant heating temperature and temperature increasing rate of substrate and to increase a heat-focusing area. Therefore, it has an advantage that the productivity of semiconductor or display device manufacture that requires a rapid thermal process is improved.

Abstract: Annular reflecting rings are removably mounted on the upper and lower sides of a chamber side portion of a chamber. An annular recessed portion is formed sandwiched between the lower end face of the upper reflecting ring and the upper end face of the lower reflecting ring to surround a holding part for holding a semiconductor wafer. The outer peripheral surface of the recessed portion communicates with a transport opening. The formation of the recessed portion prevents the light emitted from halogen lamps and flash lamps from being non-uniformly reflected around the holding part to enter a semiconductor wafer, thus improving the uniformity of the in-plane temperature distribution in the semiconductor wafer during heat treatment.
