22. Claim 1 for U.S. 5,937,142
What is claimed is:
1. A system for rapid thermal processing of a substrate in a process chamber while measuring and controlling the
temperature at the substrate to establish substantially uniform substrate temperature in real time, comprising:
an axisymmetrical multi-zone illuminator, comprising:
a plurality of substantially concentric rings of heating radiative lamps to direct optical power toward said
substrate; and
a gas showerhead facing a substrate frontside for gas delivery wherein the gas showerhead is an optical reflector,
said optical reflector having substantially high optical reflectivity;
a multi-zone temperature measurement system, comprising:
a plurality of pyrometry sensors coupled to said multi-zone illuminator to measure the substrate radiance; and
a system for real-time measurement and compensation of substrate emissivity and illuminator lamp light
interference effects;
a multi-variable temperature controller for providing multi-zone real-time temperature control; and
a plurality of illuminator lamp power supplies.

23. Claim 14 for U.S. 5,937,142
14. An axisymmetrical multi-zone illuminator system for use in rapid
thermal processing of a substrate in a process chamber, comprising:
a lamp housing;
a plurality of substantially concentric rings of heating radiative lamps
embedded within the lamp housing facing the substrate for generating
and directing optical power toward a backside of the substrate; and
an optical reflector having substantially high optical reflectivity facing
a frontside of the substrate for radiating optical energy transmitted
through the substrate backside toward the substrate frontside, said
optical reflector driving the effective frontside emissivity towards 1.
