Abstract
Disclosed is a method of heating a semiconductor in a heat treatment apparatus for heating the semiconductor at a high temperature, in which a semiconductor is put in the heat treatment apparatus, and an alternating magnetic field is applied to a low-resistance ferromagnetic substance disposed in the heat treatment apparatus and isolated by a material inert to a required treatment atmosphere in the heat treatment apparatus to generate heat in the low-resistance ferromagnetic substance to thereby carry out heat treatment on the semiconductor. Further disclosed is a susceptor for supporting a semiconductor inertly to a required treatment atmosphere in a heat treatment apparatus, the susceptor being constituted by a material which is inert to the treatment atmosphere in the treatment apparatus and a low-resistance ferromagnetic substance isolated by the inert material from the treatment atmosphere. Preferably, a Curie point of the low-resistance ferromagnetic substance is set in accordance with a temperature at which the semiconductor is heated.
