Patent number: 6281510Abstract: A method of transferring a sample to and from a treating chamber kept in a vacuum atmosphere through a pressure regulatively preparatory chamber. The sample is contained in the sample transfer container, which is kept air-permeable by a dust filtering filter, in a cleaned atmosphere before the sample is transferred to the treating chamber. The sample transfer container is transferred into the preparatory chamber, and the inside of the preparatory chamber is evacuated to a vacuum atmosphere. The sample is then extracted from the sample transfer container in the vacuum atmosphere and is transferred into the treating chamber. Also disclosed is an apparatus for supporting the sample transferring method.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2000Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Shusuke Yoshitake, Yoshiaki Tsukumo, Ryoichi Hirano, Toru Tojo, Yoshiaki Tada, Makoto Kanda
