Abstract
Failure to control static charge creates problems in a variety of cleanroom environments. This is particularly apparent in photolithography areas where both the product wafers and the reticles are at risk to the effects of static charge. This paper presents an introduction to static charge control in photolithography areas and the use of air ionization for this purpose.
