    摘要: This invention relates to a vacuum processing method and apparatus. When a sample is plasma processed under a reduced pressure, a sample bed is cooled by a cooling medium kept at a predetermined temperature lower than an etching temperature, the sample is held on the sample bed, a heat transfer gas is supplied between the back of the sample and the sample installation surface of the sample bed, and the pressure of the heat transfer gas is controlled so as to bring the sample to a predetermined processing temperature. Before the step of holding the sample on the sample bed and supplying the heat transfer gas, heat transfer gas remaining upstream and downstream of the flow rate regulator in the supply line for the heat transfer gas is vacuum exhausted. This is accomplished using a bypass line connected upstream and downstream of the flow rate regulator and an arrangement of appropriate valves.

    摘要: A vacuum processing system of a type in which wafer cassettes each accommodating a plurality of wafers to be treated are supplied to deliver the wafers and wafer cassettes collecting the treated wafers are taken out. To enable the vacuum treatment, the vacuum processing system has a structure comprising:a plurality of wafer cassettes each being set in the atmospheric air and holding a plurality of wafers to be treated; at least one vacuum processing chamber for effecting vacuum treatment on the wafers; at least one load-lock chamber disposed between the cassettes and the vacuum processing chamber, the wafers being transferred into and out of vacuum atmosphere in the vacuum processing chamber through the load-lock chamber; and a wafer transfer device for transferring the wafers from each of the cassettes to the load-lock chamber and vice versa. The wafer cassettes are arranged on a substantially horizontal flat surface with respect to each other and each of the cassettes has two upper and lower stationary positions, and the transference of the wafers from and into each of the cassettes is conducted at one of the upper and lower stationary positions.
