Secondly select “Vacuum Map” and close Load Lock Cryo Hi-Vac valve and L/L Diff Pump valve.(Open “N2 Vent Valve”. chamber pressure must be <3.0x10e-6 in 1 min. Change Load Lock Hi-Vac valve if pressure requirement is failed.)
Thirdly, under “Maintenance” menu select “Park System” and press “Park” to confirm. Load Lock Double O-ring Leak Check. Make sure Load Lock Cryo Hi-Vac valve leak check test is passed.
