イザーに関する。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ionizer for a clean room in which the air in the clean room is ionized by the discharge of electrodes and the static electricity on the surface of an object is neutralized by the ions.

However, when the degree of integration of the integrated circuit is increased, the line width of the circuit becomes extremely small, so that it is easily affected by the outside during the manufacturing process, and the yield is deteriorated. In particular, if floating particles such as dust adhere to the circuit, the circuit will be broken or short-circuited. Therefore, in an LSI factory or an electronic equipment assembly factory, the entire factory or a part thereof is made a clean room to reduce the suspended particles in the factory as much as possible.
However, since the inside of the clean room is kept at low humidity (about 40 to 45% RH) in order to suppress the deterioration of the product and prevent the growth of microorganisms, static electricity is easily generated. In addition, since many insulators such as plastics are used to prevent dust generation and enhance chemical resistance, the environment is more susceptible to static electricity. When the static electricity is generated, the wafer provided with the circuit is charged and the fine particles slightly remaining in the clean room are sucked, so that the quality is deteriorated. In addition, the circuits on the wafer may be destroyed by the discharge. Further, electromagnetic waves may cause a malfunction of a manufacturing apparatus or a computer, or an electric shock may reduce the work efficiency of a worker.

運ぶキャリアのように複数個の独立した物体で、次々に
搬送されていくものの場合は、接地によって電荷を逃が
す方法をとるのは困難である。In order to prevent such electrostatic damage, it is necessary to remove the static electricity generated in the clean room. The first possible method for removing the static electricity is to ground the charged object and ground it individually. This is a method of removing electricity. However, this method is effective only when the equipment is conductive and fixed, so in the case of multiple independent objects such as wafers and carriers that carry them, which are carried one after another, the charge is grounded. It is difficult to take the way to escape.

る。Therefore, conventionally, a method of neutralizing the static electricity by ionizing and ionizing the air in the clean room instead of removing the electric charge for each individual object like grounding has been used. This static elimination method by air ionization is suitable for static elimination in a clean room because it is possible to collectively eliminate static electricity in a wide space without contacting a charged object. As a method of ionizing air, corona discharge, radiation, ultraviolet rays, etc. are known, but among them, the method by corona discharge is safer than other methods,
It is widely used because it can be performed at low cost.

This clean room ionizer includes a plurality of ionizer electrodes provided on the ceiling of the clean room and a device for applying a voltage to the ionizer electrodes. The clean room ionizer having such a configuration generates ions by corona discharge that occurs when a high voltage is applied to the ionizer electrodes, and the ions neutralize static electricity.

That is, when the clean room ionizer is operated for a long period of time, a substance containing SiO 2 as a main component is precipitated from the air and adheres to the tip of the ionizer electrode. It is contaminated, and the static elimination performance is deteriorated. In addition, it takes a lot of maintenance to remove this deposit from the ionizer electrode, which is inconvenient.
