A vacuum apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, first sensor units disposed in the vacuum chamber facing a deposition direction of particles, and second sensor units disposed in the vacuum chamber, each disposed on a corresponding first sensor of the first sensor units facing the deposition direction, wherein the first sensor units are configured to sense a pressure in the vacuum chamber and an absorption amount of the particles adsorbed to the first sensor units, and the second sensor units are configured to sense the pressure in the vacuum chamber.

A pressure sensor measures pressure by measuring the deflection of a MEMS membrane using a capacitive read-out method. There are two ways to implement the invention. One involves the use of an integrated Pirani sensor and the other involves the use of an integrated resonator, to function as a reference pressure sensor, for measuring an internal cavity pressure.
