You heat the air, and then you wait for that air to heat the wafer. It&rsquo;s slow. In a semiconductor fab, that lag is a killer. We switched to certified infrared (IR) curing lamps to get rid of that middleman. Instead of convection, we use radiation.</p> <h2 id="getting-the-heat-where-it-belongs">Getting the heat where it belongs</h2> <p>Here is the thing: IR lamps send out electromagnetic waves that hit the substrate directly. You aren&rsquo;t standing around waiting for a whole chamber to hit a certain temperature. The energy just sinks in instantly. It <a href="https://henruite.com">turns</a> ramp-up times that used to take minutes into a matter of seconds. When you move to an IR system, you&rsquo;re basically killing off that sluggish &ldquo;thermal inertia&rdquo; you get with those old forced-air ovens.</p>
