A device and a method for reducing particle exposure to substrates during thermal treatment are disclosed. Semiconductor wafers may be rotated on a device within a process chamber divided into two partial chambers such that a first partial chamber contains the substrate to be thermally treated and a second partial chamber contains at least parts of the rotation device. Between the partial chambers, a flow of gas is set such that gas from the second partial chamber is substantially prevented from passing into the first partial chamber. In this way, particles which are produced by rotation abrasion in the second partial chamber are largely prevented from passing onto the substrate to be thermally treated. This device and this method are particularly advantageous if the rotation is realized by means of a gas drive, wherein the gas used for the rotation can be introduced directly into the second partial chamber.

Methods and systems are described herein for producing high radiance illumination light suitable for semiconductor metrology. A cold gas is repeatedly ignited by a pulsed laser to periodically generate accessible, high brightness illumination light generated during each break-down event. The pulse duration and repetition period are set to ignite, but not sustain fully formed plasma. The central plasma core emits high color temperature light before a cooler plasma region forms around the central core. Thus, after ignition, the plasma is extinguished before the arrival of the next laser pulse. The repeated plasma ignition / extinction cycle generates illumination light at high color temperature that is accessible for illumination purposes in a metrology application. In one embodiment, a bulb filled with Xenon gas at 10 atmospheres is repeatedly ignited with a pulsed laser having pulse duration of 10 nanoseconds to generate illumination light with a color temperature of approximately 60,000 Kelvin.
