Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Control in the Construction of Electronic Clean Rooms

The Importance of ESD Control in Electronic Cleanrooms

In the industry of electronic component, circuit board, semiconductor manufacturing , damages caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) can lead to serious faults, reducing product performance or completely destroying equipment.

According to research, 80% of electronic component failures are caused by static electricity. Therefore, during the Construction of Electronic Cleanrooms , selecting the appropriate anti-static materials and applying ESD control solutions is mandatory.

Standard Construction Process for Electronic Cleanrooms

Survey & Planning

• Assess the static electricity level in the production area
• Determine the standard ISO 14644 -1 Class 100 - 1000 as appropriate
• Plan to select anti-static materials and install the ESD control system

Additionally, your enterprise should refer to Cleanroom Construction to ensure that the construction process meets the standard.

Selecting Materials for Constructing Electronic Cleanrooms

Anti-Static Flooring

• Use anti-static vinyl flooring (ESD Vinyl Flooring) or Epoxy ESD
• High durability, minimizing charge buildup on surfaces

Specialized Panels & Partitions

• Use anti-static panels , ensuring no charge accumulation on surfaces
• Install metal cladding panels with anti-static paint , enhancing ESD control performance

HVAC System for Static Control

• Install an ionizer (deionizing unit) to balance the static charge in the air
• The HVAC system ensures filtration of dust particles as small as 0.3 micron , ensuring air quality as per the WHO Air Quality Guidelines

For small-scale projects, your enterprise may consider using mobile cleanroom construction to increase construction flexibility.

Additionally, implementing cleanroom automation will help optimize the process and improve production efficiency.

ESD Control in Electronic Cleanrooms

Grounding System

• Use ESD grounding wires for all equipment and machinery
• Perform regular contact checks to prevent charge leakage

Ionizer Equipment

• Use an ESD Fan (ionizing fan) to remove charges from component surfaces
• Ensure the production area maintains a stable static charge level

Regulations on Apparel & Protective Equipment

• Workers must wear anti-static clothing , ESD gloves
• Use anti-static shoes , and personal grounding straps

To complete the system, your enterprise should invest in certified electronic cleanroom equipment to ensure maximum safety during production.

At the same time, ensuring the standard of ESD in electronic cleanrooms is the key to production efficiency.

Static Control Reduces Electronic Component Failures by 40%

At a smartphone manufacturing plant in Vietnam , the ESD-related circuit board failure rate once reached 8% per month , causing significant losses.

After implementation:
✅ Installation of an ESD-compliant grounding system
✅ Use of epoxy anti-static flooring
✅ Equipping sensitive areas with ionizer devices

Result: More than 40% reduction in component failures , optimizing operating costs and enhancing productivity.

This production process is carried out in accordance with the CGMP standards required by quality industries.
