Abstract

Apparatus comprising a bakeable high vacuum system using cryopumps is disclosed. Auxiliary cooling means in thermal contact with the primary pumping stage of the cryopump remove heat from the cryopump, whereby the walls of the cryopump may be heated during operation of the cryopump, such that the cryopump can be baked. This can result in substantially improved attainable pressure in the system.
