Due to this lowering, the position of the collar 42 at the upper end of the substrate support pin 41 becomes lower than the hand 39 of the transfer robot, so that the substrate S supported by the collar 42 at the upper end of the substrate support pin 41 moves to the hand 39. Listed. Then, the substrate S is carried out to the transfer chamber. Next, a new substrate is fed, and the substrate mounting table 34 on which the new substrate is mounted is set to the raised position during film formation. The operation of the substrate elevating mechanism 11 at the time of loading is performed in the order just opposite to that at the time of unloading. Be seen.

ものになっている。The elevating mechanism 11 of this embodiment does not have many metal bellows and air cylinders for the elevating pins 61, which are required for the substrate elevating mechanism 21 of the conventional example, and exists below the vacuum chamber 12. Since only the metal bellows 33 with a flange for the lifting support cylinder 31 of the substrate platform 34 and the air cylinder are used, the workability of maintenance is excellent,
The potential leak point is reduced, which is extremely preferable from the viewpoints of downsizing of the vacuum chamber 12 and reduction of manufacturing cost.
