Abstract

Exemplary methods of cooling a semiconductor component substrate may include heating the semiconductor component substrate to a temperature of greater than or about 500° C. in a chamber. The semiconductor component substrate may be or include aluminum. The methods may include delivering a gas into the chamber. The gas may be characterized by a temperature below or about 100° C. The methods may include cooling the semiconductor component substrate to a temperature below or about 200° C. in a first time period of less than or about 1 minute.
