Abstract
In integrated semiconductor manufacturing, semiconductor dies may be packaged in ceramic packages. Such packages typically have a base into which the semiconductor die is securedly placed and typically have a lead frame securedly attached to base so that electrical connection may be made to the semiconductor die. A halagen lamp radiant chamber significantly reduces the time it takes to attach the die and lead frame to the ceramic base while reducing particles commonly associated with open belt converyor furnaces.
