Patent ID: 7660097

Claim:
An electrostatic charge remover using soft X-rays, said remover comprising: a head part neutralizing and weakening electrostatic charges of bodies, for removal of the electrostatic charges from the bodies, by generating soft X-rays having wavelengths in the range of 1.2 Å˜1.5 Å with high energy from a soft X-ray tube that is an ion generating tube using thin film of Be evaporated with W as window material, and ionizing gas molecules directly and also removing electrostatic charges in atmosphere of inert gases (N 2 , Ar); a soft X-ray protecting part wrapping said head part and preventing that soft X-ray is leaked from said head part in order that a user of the electrostatic charge remover is not directly exposed to radiation; a power controlling part being connected to said head part and said soft X-ray protecting part electrically and providing target voltage to control ion generation of a soft X-ray tube and a filament voltage of the soft X-ray tube, in order to control the ion generation so that said head part may generate soft X-rays appropriately, and wherein said remover removes the electrostatic charges on the surface of charged bodies by generating ions or electrons by ionizing gases surrounding charged bodies.
