Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A processing apparatus and method compatible with a vacuum process system for wafers, wherein an in situ source of ultraviolet light is provided to enhance chemical activity at the wafer surface, and a remote plasma source is provided in the process gas flow upstream of the wafer, to provide activated species to the wafer face, and a radiatively coupled heat source is also provided so that the wafer can be rapidly thermally cycled.
