A crystal vibrating film thickness meter (12) equipped with a quartz plate is also installed to measure the thickness. This allows the thickness of the deposited film to be accurately measured by changing the frequency of the crystal oscillator. In the figure, (13) is an exhaust gas connected to a trickle molecular pump (not shown) for exhausting the inside of the chamber (10).
