Pumpdown of the load lock from atmosphere took 15 minutes to below 10<sup>-6</sup> Torr, which is the process pressure. Note that this was with a brand new vacuum chamber. The pumping time is slower the more material is deposited inside the machine, as the layers can trap moisture and other gases.
 
A pumpdown of the whole system took about 1.5 hours to below 10<sup>-6</sup> Torr.
