Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device of pre-processing a polymer material in a processing chamber (12).SOLUTION: The method includes to provide a component made of a polymer material in a processing chamber (12), and to introduce a carbon dioxide fluid in supercritical state therein. The component is exposed to the carbon dioxide fluid in order to extract nonvolatile organic residue contained therein. The carbon dioxide fluid contaminated containing the nonvolatile organic residue thus extracted is then taken out from the processing chamber so that the organic residue is not deposited on the component made of a polymer material by reducing the pressure in the processing chamber. Then, the component is taken out from the processing chamber (12).
