    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a to a pitch gradient in a lamp filament, and a method of making. In one implementation, a lamp has a bulb filled with a gas. A filament is disposed within the bulb. The filament has a plurality of coils that include a first coil having a first point. The plurality of coils includes a second coil having a second point, and a third coil having a third point. The pitch gradient is defined by a first pitch between the second point and the first point, and a second pitch between the third point and the second point. The second pitch is greater than the first pitch. The second point is 360 degrees away from the first point. The third point is 360 degrees from the second point. A terminal coil is electrically coupled to at least the first coil, the second coil, and the third coil.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a method and apparatus for inspecting lamp dimensions. The method includes determining an actual measurement of a lamp. The lamp is configured to heat a substrate in a substrate processing apparatus. A window is generated, the window having a width and a height. The window is based upon a target measurement of the lamp. The method further includes generating a deviation based upon a difference between an image of the actual measurement and the window. The deviation is compared to a first threshold. The lamp is rejected if the deviation is outside the first threshold.
