Short-wave infrared (SWIR) is the way to go. But here&rsquo;s the thing: the whole system lives or dies by the &ldquo;safety distance&rdquo;—that tiny gap between the lamp and the wafer. Get it too wide, and you&rsquo;re basically paying to heat up the <a href="https://o-yate.com">chamber</a> walls. Get it too tight, and you&rsquo;re <a href="https://goldisgood.com">risking</a> a <a href="https://henruite.com">ruined</a> wafer or a patchy heat spread. It&rsquo;s a delicate balance.</p>
