Title:
VACUUM PUMPING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005207419
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a vacuum pumping device capable of being performed at a low initial cost, and a low maintenance cost and space requirement.

The vacuum pumping device and method are used for controlling pressure of a plurality of vacuum processing chambers, performing evacuation and providing relaxation. This system can be used in manufacturing a semiconductor. Gas in the plurality of vacuum processing chambers is discharged to a common relaxation chamber by a turbo pump, and the relaxation chamber is kept at a pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure by a backing pump. The pressure in the processing chambers are individually controlled. The internal capacity of a relaxation device forms a buffer for reducing the influence of the pressure change in one processing chamber on the pressure in another chamber.
