An apparatus for redirecting energy applied to a susceptor of a substrate process chamber. Specifically, a shield comprising one or more reflector members is disposed below said susceptor whereby thermal energy radiated from a backside of said susceptor is reflected back to the susceptor. The apparatus comprises a bracket member attached to the reflector members and a pedestal assembly disposed below said susceptor. The reflector members are fabricated from a low emissivity material such as stainless steel (which can be polished to a highly reflective condition). Also, the first and second reflector members can be annealed.
