- Turn off the Vacuum pump
- Close the cabinet
* Do not use photoresist material
* Just use metal tweezer! not teflon tweezer
- Venting process is done when Guage Pressure is reached to 7.40E+2 Torr
- You can see the stabilized pressure in the real-time Pressure display
Loading samples
- Open the cage
- Open the chamber with clean wiper
* Chamber is very hot so use clean wiper when you grab the chamber
