Abstract
A cryopump includes: a first-stage cryopanel; a second-stage cryopanel; a cryocooler thermally coupled to the first-stage cryopanel and the second-stage cryopanel to cool the first-stage cryopanel to a first-stage cooling temperature and cool the second-stage cryopanel to a second-stage cooling temperature that is lower than the first-stage cooling temperature; and a cryocooler controller configured to execute first-stage temperature control for controlling the first-stage cooling temperature to a first-stage target temperature and increase the cooling capacity of the cryocooler when an increase in the second-stage cooling temperature is detected during the execution of the first-stage temperature control.
