Abstract :
Air ionizers are used during the fabrication and assembly of very small components and sub assemblies that are static sensitive. The plate of a standard charged plate monitor (CPM) is relatively large in comparison. Questions have arisen about the relevancy of CPM test results with respect to very small components. The Ionization Committee of the ESD Association performed tests to investigate this relationship.
