In recent years, various surface treatments such as N-doping, N-infusion, and two-step baking have been studied to realize high-performance superconducting accelerating cavities in terms of accelerating gradient and Q-value. We report the influence of a new baking process called furnace baking on cavity performance. Baking in a vacuum furnace at temperatures ranging from 200C to 800C is applied to the cavity as the final step of cavity surface treatment, followed by high-pressure rinsing and RF measurement. We find that the Q-value is sensitive to the temperature of furnace baking, especially at furnace baking at temperatures ranging from 250C to 400C produces cavities with extremely high Q-values, similar to those obtained by N-doping. This method is simpler and potentially more reliable than previously reported heat treatment methods, and is therefore easily applicable to cavities, and is a promising future surface treatment method for mass production.
