Abstract
A device for treating at least one substrate comprises a susceptor that is thermally coupled to the substrate and an induction-heating device for heating the susceptor. The induction-heating device and the susceptor are so disposed with respect to one another that an electromagnetic force acting on the susceptor is directed parallel to the force of gravity. As a result, a mechanically and thermally stable structure is assured.
