PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a practicable thermal transition driven vacuum-pump wherein prime-mechanisms of the pump are built up in a 3-D structure. SOLUTION: Two connectors 7 are placed up and down a capillary aggregate 4 and a support body 5 arranged respectively in planar states to build up the prime-mechanisms of the pump in a 3-D structure. Connectors in the preceding and following stages are connected through a through-window 6 provided in the support body 5, and thus the thermal transition driven vacuum-pump in a multistage cascade connection is comparatively easily realized. The capillary aggregate 4 is formed of macro-porous silicon subjected to anodic-oxidation treatment, and provided with vertically penetrated pores or small interstices in a uniform Knudsen number.
