Abstract

A substrate treatment installation includes an installation chamber and a light source for the exposure of substrates to light. The light source is arranged in the interior of the substrate treatment installation and includes at least one discharge lamp arranged in a housing, which is permeable to light at least in sections and has a vacuum-tight cavity for accommodating the lamp, and also at least one reflector element arranged in spatial proximity to the at least one lamp and having an electrical connection.

Claims (8)

1. A substrate treatment installation, comprising an installation chamber and a light source for the exposure of substrates, wherein the light source is arranged inside the installation chamber and comprises at least one discharge lamp arranged in an at least locally optically transmissive housing having a vacuum-tight cavity for reception of the at least one discharge lamp, as well as at least one reflector element which has an electrical connection and is arranged in spatial proximity to the at least one discharge lamp.

2. The substrate treatment installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises at least one tube made of an optically transmissive material.

3. The substrate treatment installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises at least two plates arranged mutually parallel and at least two plate strips connecting the plates, at least one plate comprising an optically transmissive material.

4. The substrate treatment installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing extends through at least one wall of the installation chamber and, on an outer side of the installation chamber, has at least one opening through which a cavity of the housing is accessible from outside the installation chamber.

5. The substrate treatment installation as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least one opening comprises a coolant connection.

6. The substrate treatment installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises at least two rod-shaped discharge lamps arranged in a first plane, and the reflector element comprises at least one electrically conductive or electrically conductively coated plate arranged in a plane parallel to the first plane.

7. The substrate treatment installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflector element comprises a component of the housing.

8. The substrate treatment installation as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflector element comprises a metal layer applied on a component of the housing.
