This furnace employs IR heating through a quartz chamber for implant annealing, oxidation/nitriding, silicide formation, and other rapid thermal processes.  It is capable of temperatures up to 1200C for a maximum of three minutes.  Regulation extends from room temperature.  Lifetime of the thermocouple degrades rapidly above 1000C.  Processes are carried out at atmospheric pressure in an ambient of Nitrogen, Argon, or Hydrogen:Argon forming gas.
