A gate valve closing command is issued to 0 (Fig. 2). As a result, the gate valve is normally closed and the degree of vacuum is reduced. When the controller 21 monitors the measurement result of the vacuum gauge 22 and confirms that the degree of vacuum has decreased (FIG. 2), the plasma extinguishing is performed by the gas regulator 2, the argon gas supply source 3, and the high frequency power source 6b.

The operation of the vacuum pumps 15 and 18 is stopped while moving (Fig. 2). Then, it waits until a certain time (for example, 30 minutes) sufficient for the vacuum degree in the chamber to drop (in the figure,
). Then, after the elapse of this fixed time, an instruction to extinguish the plasma and an instruction to stop the vacuum pump 12 are given to each part (FIG. 2). By doing so, the abnormality of the gate valve 10 can be detected, and the system can be stopped without damaging the vacuum pump.

By performing the processing, the plasma is extinguished after lowering the vacuum level in the chamber even when a gate valve abnormality occurs, so the system can be stopped without adversely affecting the vacuum pump. It will be possible.

The system is stopped (plasma extinguishing) depending on the drop state, so even if there is a gate valve abnormality, the vacuum inside the chamber is reduced before the plasma is extinguished, which adversely affects the vacuum pump. It is possible to realize an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer capable of shutting down the system without giving the above.
