LIGHT-IRRADIATION THERMAL TREATMENT APPARATUS
An atmosphere of ammonia that absorbs infrared light in a wavelength band overlapping with the measurement wavelength band of a radiation thermometer is formed in a chamber in which a semiconductor wafer is thermally treated. A filter that selectively transmits infrared light having a wavelength not overlapping with the absorption wavelength band of ammonia is installed between an optical lens system and a detector of the radiation thermometer to avoid influence of the infrared light absorption by ammonia. A conversion table corresponding to the installed filter is selected from a plurality of conversion tables representing a correlation between energy of infrared light incident on the radiation thermometer and temperature of a black body, and is used at the radiation thermometer. Accordingly, the temperature of the semiconductor wafer can be accurately measured in the atmosphere of ammonia.
