This paper highlights the basic principles of rapid thermal processing (RTP) systems and the important areas of concern. The basic system characteristics, the fundamental physics involved, and the techniques for temperature measurement and control are extensively reviewed. We summarize the options currently available for 15 RTP equipment manufacturers and point out the latest developments in RTP system design and temperature measurement. Some novel options for temperature control (optical, fiber optical, and photoacoustic) are included.
