Abstract

In a vacuum gate valve, a seal member for sealing a gate opening part is bonded to an outer edge part of a planar seal plate that is disposed in such a manner that the planar seal plate is opposed to a valve seat surface of the gate opening part and comes into contact with the valve seat surface. The seal member includes a vacuum seal part that is located on a side farther from the gate opening part and maintains the sealability of the gate opening part when the gate opening part is closed, and also includes a radical seal part that is located on a side closer to the gate opening part and that prevents the seal member from being affected by a treatment gas in the gate opening part when the gate opening part is closed. The vacuum seal part is made of a rubber elastic body, and the radical seal part is configured by providing a radical resistant body that is provided with an excellent radical resistance on the rubber elastic body.
