One embodiment of the present invention is an electron beam treatment apparatus
that includes: (a) an array of lamps that output radiation; (b) a support mechanism
adapted to support a substrate at a treatment position above the lamps; and (c)
a lamp heat shield, disposed above the array, having a radiation absorption portion
adapted to absorb radiation from at least a portion of the array, and a radiation
reflection portion adapted to reflect radiation from at least a portion of the
array towards the substrate when disposed at the treatment position.
