You need the surface dry and hot, but you don&rsquo;t want to turn your entire chamber into an oven or blow your power budget. We handle this by pairing waterproof IR lamps with gold-coated reflectors. Here&rsquo;s why that actually matters.</p> <h2 id="why-gold">Why gold?</h2> <p>Most people use aluminum reflectors. They&rsquo;re cheap, sure. But aluminum absorbs a lot of that infrared energy instead of pushing it where it needs to go. We use gold because it&rsquo;s incredible at bouncing near-infrared light. It&rsquo;s not for show. It&rsquo;s about photons. Gold reflects way more of them back toward the wafer, which gives you a much tighter focus. The result? Your wafer hits the target temperature faster, and you use fewer watts to get there. It&rsquo;s efficient. <a href="https://goldisgood.com">Simple</a> as that.</p>
