Next, the method and process of the present invention will be further described in detail below. 2 is a flow chart of a thermal process of the embodiment of the present invention, the process of the light transmissive component of the present invention. < Referring also to Figs. 1 and 2, the wafer 103 is first subjected to a semiconductor process (step 210). Step 210 is, for example, performing a rapid thermal process such as a metal telluride process, a deposition process, a low dielectric material process, an annealing process, and an ultraviolet curing process on the wafer 1〇3. Typically, after the semiconductor process is performed, some deposits 101 are formed on the surface of the light transmissive element 102 near the wafer 103. The attachment 101 described above may be, for example, an organic material, a metal 11 200921791 24724 twf.doc/p material or an inorganic material. Attacking these attachments 1〇1 will cause the energy source emitted by the energy source output element 106 to be not uniformly transmitted to the wafer hall, and the process yield will be sounded. After the semiconductor process of the wafer is completed, a surface treatment step (step 220) may be performed. This surface treatment step may be used to clear the surface of the light-transmitting element to remove the adhesion of the light-transmitting element. In the present embodiment, the surface treatment step is, for example, a step of introducing a process gas into the process gas, and the process gas is reacted with the deposit 101 to further decompose the deposits 1 (M to light transmission). The transmittance of the component (10) is not affected. Subsequently, after the deposit 101 is decomposed, it is extracted through the air suction device in the reaction chamber without affecting the subsequent wafer fabrication. The temperature used is 500 c or more, and the aeration time is about 5 seconds or more. According to the above, if the deposit 1〇1 is an organic material, the processing gas may be, for example, a gas containing a oxygen atom or a mixed gas. , for example, oxygen, ozone, nitrogen, helium or a combination thereof. If the deposit 1〇1 is a metal 1 material or an inorganic material, the processing gas may be, for example, a spectrin gas or For example, it is fluorine, chlorine, bromine or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, before the surface treatment step is carried out by introducing a gas or a mixed gas containing oxygen atoms, if the wafer 103 is made of metal or the like Processing the process layer of the gas reaction, the wafer 103 can be removed from the reaction chamber 110 first to avoid affecting the wafer 103. For example, after the wafer 1〇3 is subjected to the metal telluride process, the wafer is processed before the surface treatment step. 103 is removed from the reaction chamber 110. 12 200921791 51 24724twf.doc/p In particular, the 7' of the thermal processing apparatus 100 is the second application required for the surface treatment steps described above: 1 The cleaning element (10) includes a halogen source provided with a line source, an infrared source, a laser, an electron beam, a microwave, an electric wave, or
