Abstract

A thermal process apparatus for a semiconductor substrate, including a heating source heating the semiconductor substrate by irradiating a light on one side of the semiconductor substrate, a reflection plate facing to the semiconductor substrate in a state where a reflection cavity is formed with another side of the semiconductor substrate, a thermometer having a light-receiving part provided on the refection plate so as to measure a temperature of the semiconductor substrate by catching a radiation beam from the semiconductor substrate heated by the heating source by the light-receiving part; and light absorption means provided around the light-receiving part for absorbing a diffuse reflection light generated in the reflection cavity.
