Think about how hot air works. You have to heat the air, then the chamber, and finally the wafer. It’s a slow crawl. IR emitters skip all that. They use radiation to shoot heat directly at the target. It&rsquo;s like the difference between waiting for a room to warm up and just stepping into the sun.</p>
