You need a massive hit of thermal <a href="https://henruite.com">energy</a> to get the chemistry moving, but if you overdo it, you&rsquo;ll fry the substrate. The secret is making sure every bit of heat actually hits the wafer instead of just warming up the machine&rsquo;s chassis. That&rsquo;s why we use gold-coated reflectors.</p> <h2 id="why-gold">Why Gold?</h2> <p>Think about a standard quartz lamp. It throws energy in every direction—a full 360 degrees. In a wafer setup, you&rsquo;re basically throwing half your energy away. By adding a thin layer of gold to the reflector, we push that infrared radiation right back where it belongs: onto the wafer. Gold is incredible for this. It reflects over 98% of long-wave infrared. The result? You get way more &ldquo;punch&rdquo; on the wafer surface without having to crank up the power draw on your lamps. It&rsquo;s just efficient.</p>
