Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vacuum chamber having a differential gas discharge seal such that a substrate is carried in and out in a state where desired vacuum pressure is maintained in a process room. SOLUTION: The vacuum chamber 10 includes a floating chuck 40 as a substrate conveying mechanism capable of conveying the substrate W in a prescribed direction so that the substrate W may pass through the process room P, and the differential gas discharge seal 20 disposed at a periphery of the process room P and sealing a gap between the conveyed substrate W and a seal surface 21 opposed to the substrate W, wherein the floating chuck 40 also functions as a distortion removing means of removing distortion of the conveyed substrate W.
