PURPOSE:To eliminate the possibility of sucking dust in free air and dust attached on sealing members into a reacting chamber, by using a first evacuating device for reducing pressure in the reacting chamber, and using a second evacuating device for reducing pressure in a side chamber in order to contact a door and the reacting chamber tightly. CONSTITUTION:A first evacuating device V1 is composed of an evacuating pipe 3, a vacuum pump P, which is connected to the pipe 3, and a valve 2 of the pipe 3. A second evacuating device V2 is composed of an evacuating pipe 10, a valve 11, which opens and closes the pipe 10, and a vacuum pump P1, which is connected to the pipe 10. Wafers 6a are put in a reacting chamber 1 together with a quartz jig 6, and a door 4 is closed. The valve 11 is opened, and evacuation is started through the pipe 10. The door 4 is sucked, and the door is tightly contacted with the reacting chamber 1 through sealing members 5 and 15. The valve 2 is opened, and the pressure in the reacting chamber 1 is reduced with the pump P. Thus dust is not sucked into the reacting chamber 1.
