Abstract

A method for protecting at least one wafer from contamination, the method including the steps of heating the wafer in an apparatus for semiconductor processing having a reaction core (102), providing a first voltage level to a wafer transfer device (108), and providing a second voltage level lower than the first voltage level, near the reaction core (102), thereby activating the protection.
