Abstract

PURPOSE: To load equipment on an equipment loading means together with cords, and move it between two sealed vessels through a valve mechanism by a guide by providing a guide means for guiding the cords to the vessel while holding the sealed state of the vessel. CONSTITUTION: A rubber member 12 mounted on the lower end of a shutter member 10 is highly flexible, so that cords 3 can be sealed in the space with an opening part even when they are present within the opening part. The cords 3 can be sealed between the opening part and the shutter member 10 only by pulling up the shutter member 10 to open the opening part 9, and closing the shutter member 10 after moving an equipment 1 from one vessel to the other vessel together with the cords 3. Thus, the vessel in which the equipment 1 and the following cords 3 are carried can be kept in the sealed state.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the manufacture of microfabricated parts such as semiconductor parts and medical parts, various kinds of processing, assembling, analysis, inspection, etc. are carried out in an atmosphere having different gas pressures and gas species. Therefore, it is necessary to put the micro sample in and out of a plurality of closed containers having different atmospheres. However, in order to put in and take out the micro sample without greatly changing the atmosphere in the closed container, as shown in FIG. A container (load lock chamber) 42 is prepared separately from the closed container 41.
The gate valve 43 can be used to shut off the load lock chamber 42 from the load lock chamber 42. First, the minute sample 45 is installed in the carrier 44 of the load lock chamber 42 in the atmospheric state. Next, the load lock chamber 42 is evacuated to, for example, a vacuum state so that the pressure in the closed container 41 is substantially the same as the degree of vacuum. After that, the gate valve 4
3, the carrier 44 is loaded into the closed container 41, and the micro sample 42 is set in the holder 46 in the closed container.
The transporter 44 is returned to the load lock 42 chamber, the gate valve 43 is closed, and the hermetically sealed container 41 is hermetically sealed. Then, predetermined processing such as etching is performed in the hermetically sealed container 41.

Therefore, for example, three-dimensional processing of a sample or 3
To perform dimensional analysis etc. in containers with different atmospheres, install the same translation / rotation stage and mobile equipment or operating equipment such as analysis probe in each container, and transfer the sample between these mobile equipment and operating equipment. Needed a mechanism to do this. This not only complicates the mechanism and operation, but especially the relocation property of the sample (that is, the property that it can be reproducibly set to the same position in each closed container with respect to the mobile device or the operating device). As a result, it becomes difficult to process or analyze the same place, and high-precision processing cannot be performed.
