Abstract

The present invention is a method and apparatus for depositing a film on a substrate. According to the present invention a characteristic of a substrate is determined. The substrate is then heated by heat from an upper heat source and heat from a lower heat source wherein the ratio of heat supplied from the upper heat source relative to the lower heat source is dependent upon the determined wafer characteristic.
