They&rsquo;re energy hogs. Switching to Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) systems is the way to go because IR lamps hit the wafer surface directly. No more wasting energy heating up the air around the part. But here&rsquo;s the tricky part: the gap between your lamp and the wafer is everything. It’s the difference between a perfect run and a ruined substrate.</p>
