PURPOSE:To obtain a positive sealing function to a communicating hole, and to enable a secular periodic duty by mounting a plug body opening and closing the communicating hole interlocked with the movement operation of a sample to a sample chamber and a load locking chamber and a tightening mechanism contacting and detaching the plug body. CONSTITUTION:Microwaves from a magnetron M for a plasma device are projected to a plasma producing chamber 1 through a waveguide 2, and an etching chamber 3 is irradiated by produced plasma from an oppositely faced surface. Each casing 5a and 6a of a load lock 5 and a carrying means 6 are arranged oppositely to the etching chamber 3. A rod member 6c is disposed into the housing 6a of the casing 6a rotatably and slidably, and a base plate 8 for samples 7 is fixed at the nose of the rod member. A plug body 9 is turned around the member 6c in the vicinity of the nose section. A seat is formed to the periphery on the etching chamber 3 side of a communicating hole 3c contacting and detaching a plug body 9, and the communicating hole 3c is sealed positively.
