Abstract
An apparatus includes an electrode and a heating element attached to the electrode. A heat sink is between the electrode and the heating element. A mirror is between the heat sink and the heating element. An aperture reflector surrounds the mirror and the heating element.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a first heater including,
- a first electrode,
- a first heating element attached to the first electrode,
- a first heat sink between the first electrode and the first heating element;
- a first mirror between the first heat sink and the first heating element, and
- a first aperture reflector surrounding the first mirror and the first heating element;
- a second heater including,
- a second electrode,
- a second heating element attached to the second electrode,
- a second heat sink between the second electrode and the second heating element;
- a second mirror between the second heat sink and the second heating element, and
- a second aperture reflector surrounding the second mirror and the second heating element;
- and
- a carrier configured to move a workpiece in a gap between the first heater and the second heater, wherein
- the first aperture reflector is positioned to direct heat from the first heating element onto a first side of the workpiece, and
- the second aperture reflector is positioned to direct heat from the second heating element onto a second side of the workpiece.
