Abstract

This application relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology and discloses a rapid thermal processing chamber and rapid thermal processing equipment, including a heating device located on one side of a wafer carrier; a reflector located on the other side of the wafer carrier; the reflector and the heating device are arranged opposite to each other; at least two heat dissipation vents are provided on the surface of the reflector facing the wafer carrier, and all heat dissipation vents are connected to at least two heat dissipation gas pipes, each heat dissipation gas pipe is equipped with an independently controlled flow controller; the projection of the center of the wafer fixing area onto the reflector is the central projection, and the distances from the heat dissipation vents connected to the at least two heat dissipation gas pipes to the central projection are different. When heat dissipation gas is introduced, heat dissipation gas can be introduced at different flow rates for different areas of the wafer surface, thereby making the wafer temperature more uniform, solving the problem of excessive temperature difference, and improving the yield of wafer fabrication.
