 The RTP Annealsys system is divided into two main parts: the process chamber and the loadlock.
 The chamber has stainless steel walls (water-cooled) and a top and bottom halogen lamp-configuration (16 infra-red lamps, in total). As such, the samples are rapidly heated from both sides, simultaneously. In addition, the chamber is enclosed by two quartz-windows (immediately below/above the set of top/bottom lamps) and these are air-cooled. It is also connected to two external vacuum pumps, to a gas inlet and the loadlock.

 Similarly, the loadlock is also connected to two external pumps. Moreover, the chamber and the loadlock are separated by the gate valve. While processing, the valve remains closed; it is only opened to exchange the substrates when both chamber and loadlock are under turbo vacuum. The substrate transfer is possible due to the mechanical, retractable arm.
