However, even with the above-described vacuum apparatus that maintains the vacuum chamber at a high vacuum during the running cycle, the vacuum chamber must be opened to the atmospheric pressure during maintenance, and at that time, the vacuum chamber is adsorbed on the inner wall of the chamber. The evacuation time required for exhausting the moisture and reaching the base pressure again is as long as 3 to 4 hours if it is short and 7 hours or more if it is long. In particular, when the inside of the vacuum chamber is wet-cleaned, the amount of moisture adsorbed on the inner wall of the vacuum chamber increases, and there is a problem that it takes a considerably long time to reach the base pressure. In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum evacuation method and a vacuum apparatus capable of shortening the evacuation time until base pressure by increasing the efficiency of sweeping and replacing moisture adsorbed on the inner wall of a vacuum chamber.
