Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for the heat treatment of substrates, especially semiconductor wafers. The device comprises a reaction chamber with a compensation element. According to the invention the substrate can be inserted and withdrawn again more easily by the fact that the compensation element (15) can be at least partly lowered and/or raised in the reaction chamber.
