Abstract
An apparatus for heat treating substrates. The apparatus comprises a furnace core tube for containing the substrates, a heater provided for enclosing the furnace core tube, an inner cylinder provided for enclosing the heater, and an outer cylinder with a path for cooling water provided therein. The apparatus further comprises a heat reflecting mirror formed on an inner surface of the outer cylinder and a blower for ventilating the space between the furnace core tube and the inner cylinder. After heat treatment of the substrates is carried out, the blower is activated and the cooling water is circulated in the outer cylinder. Therefore, an undesirable rise in the temperature of the mirror can be prevented.
