A lamp heating apparatus has: a chamber having a transparent window and housing a substrate; a heating lamp for heating the substrate by radiant heat of a heating lamp through the transparent window; a radiation thermometer that optically detects the temperature of the substrate and has a sensing portion provided in the chamber; a radical generating portion for generating a radical outside the chamber and supplying the radical into the chamber; and a light quantity sensor for determining the time for cleaning the inside of the chamber from a cloudy state of the transparent window and the surface of the sensing portion. This lamp heating apparatus enables a series of operations including heat annealing of the substrate and cleaning of the inside of the chamber. According to this invention, a lamp heating apparatus that has good temperature uniformity and reproductivity of heat processing conditions is obtained.
