Abstract

A Monte Carlo model is developed to simulate transient wafer heating as a function of system parameters in a kaleidoscope- or integrating light-pipe type cavity with square cross-section. Trends in wafer temperature uniformity are examined as a function of length-to-width ratio, cavity width, and the number of heating lamps. The effect on temperature determination by a radiometer placed in the bottom end wall of the cavity is simulated.
