1. A substrate processing tool comprising:

  • a body defining a substrate processing region;

    a substrate support adapted to support a substrate within the substrate processing region; and

    a first UV lamp spaced apart from the substrate support and configured to transmit UV radiation to a substrate positioned on the substrate support, the first UV lamp comprising a first UV radiation source and a first reflector partially surrounding the first UV radiation source, the first reflector having opposing inner and outer reflective panels, the inner reflective panel having a first reflective surface and the outer reflective panel having a second reflective surface that is asymmetric to the first reflective surface.
