          Nonevaporable getter (NEG) pumps are widely used to maintain ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). Commercial NEG pumps using ZrVFe alloy can be activated by heating at 400¿500 °C, and pump active residual gases such as H₂, H₂O, CO₂, CO, N₂, and so on at room temperature (RT). Recently T. Miyazawa, T. Kikuchi, K. Mase et al. have developed a new NEG, Pd overcoated on Ti thin film with a purity higher than 99.95\% (oxygen-free Pd/Ti hereafter), which pumps H₂ and CO at RT after baking at 133 °C for 12 hours. Then we developed a zero-length conflat flange NEG pump deposited with oxygen-free Pd/Ti. The NEG pump can be fully activated by baking at 150 °C for 12 h and exhibits initial pumping speeds of 2340 L s¿1 for H₂, and 1440 L s¿1 for CO. The initial pumping speeds of the oxygen-free Pd/Ti thin film after baking at 150 °C were estimated to be 3.2 L s¿1 cm¿2 for H₂ and 7.6 L s¿1 cm¿2 for CO. The present NEG pump is ideal for maintaining UHV below 10¿8 Pa, because its pumping speeds for H₂ and CO are quite large, and because it can be fully activated by baking at 150 °C for 12 h.
