A vacuum processing system including a cassette holder for setting up cassettes in which samples are stored, an air-transfer chamber for transferring the samples, lock chambers for storing the samples transferred from the air-transfer chamber, the lock chambers being capable of switching between air atmosphere and vacuum atmosphere in their inside, a vacuum transfer chamber connected to the lock chambers, vacuum containers for processing the samples transferred via the vacuum transfer chamber, a cooling chamber for cooling the samples down to a first temperature, the samples being processed in at least one of the vacuum containers, and a cooling unit for cooling the samples down to a second temperature, the samples being cooled in the cooling chamber. The cooling unit is deployed in the air transfer chamber, and has a cooling part for cooling the samples, being cooled in the cooling chamber, down to the second temperature. |
