Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce microleak of H2O to a sputtering chamber by doubly providing O-rings in the sealing part for cooling water in the cathode part of a sputtering device and continuously roughly evacuating the space between the O-rings with a rotary pump. CONSTITUTION:To increase the sealing effect for cooling water 11 flowing in the cathode part 10, O-rings 13 are doubly provided and the space between the sealing surfaces enclosed with these two O-rings 13 is evacuated. To perform this method, the cathode part 10 is machined to provide a hole between two O-rings to the sealing surface. This hole is connected with a rough evacuating line 20 and to a rotary pump 2 through a valve (2) 19. During the sputtering chamber 1 is evacuated with a cryopump 3 to high vacuum by opening a main valve 15, the space between two O-rings 13 is continuously evacuated with the rotary pump 2 by opening the valve (2) 19 so that the space is maintained in medium vacuum (<=100mTorr).
