1. CORE INSIGHT INTRODUCTION

Core Insight is an ionization system manufacturer and supplier to

ESD and contamination control areas. Core also provide general ESD

Test & Measurement, Professional Audit Kits, EMI Noise Filter and

Device Testing Equipment for HBM, TLP, VF TLP and CDM. Technical

services are ESD Training, Process Assessment, ESD Control Program,

Product Qualification Testing per ANSI/ESD Standards, Device Testing

and System Level ESD Testing per IEC 61000-4-2.

Core Insight is major ESD distribution supplier in the field of

semiconductor, flat panel display, automotive and electronic

manufacturing working environment. Core founded in 2003 and

represent for Prostat, On-Filter, Monroe Electronics, Electro-Tech

Systems, Grund Technical Solutions, Lucas Signatone, iT2, SH&A,

Dangelmayer Associate etc.

2. Ionization Technology

Core Insight’s CoreStat® Auto-Balanced Ionization System is exact

same technology of SIMCO-ION (previously as known Ion Systems)

which is their exclusive patents has been expired since 2009 and it

has open for everybody. CoreStat® is a steady-state DC ionization

technology with isolated high voltage section of power supply and

maintain intrinsically balanced its offset voltage performance in

specification ranges. All of Model 300 series and Model 3000 series

ionizers are CoreStat® steady-state DC technology which aren’t need

adjust ion output for balance performance. It just need periodic

cleaning emitter points for maintain decay performance.

Core Insight also offer traditional AC ionization technology for

industrial applications such as roll to roll, winding & unwinding of

films for static related contamination issues.

Core offer bipolar Pulsed AC ionizers which is lower frequency than

conventional AC and output parameters are adjustable for each

application such as FPD’s manufacturing environment and others.

High Frequency AC is alternative solution for replacement of

conventional AC for ESD control application and very small package

ionization products. This technology applied lower high voltage level

than conventional AC ionizers, but much faster switching time from

16kHz to 70kHz. This can achieve low offset voltage from ionizers

and can be use ESD control application areas.

Pulsed DC ionization technology is the strength of Core Insight’s

ionization products for cleanroom particle contamination controls.

There are many forms and configuration in this type of products

which improves particle contamination issues in many places such as

semiconductor front-end, back-end, flat panel display fab and many

other industrial applications.

Core Insight offer several types of Charge Plate Monitor (CPM) or

Test Kits for ionizer performance testing of qualification and

compliance verification. Monroe Electronics’ Model 288 is the latest

version of CPM and highly accurate measurement equipment based

on the original voltage following technology. Model 300 is cost

effective ionizer measurement CPM equipment. Both two CPMs can

remotely control and make measurement by software for detail

analysis and test result reporting. These two equipments are perfectly

compliance to ANSI/ESD STM3.1 standard requirement test.

Also, there are hand-held fieldmeter based test kit which is smaller

plater, external charging source and integrated decay timer for

compliance verification measurement per ANSI/ESD SP3.3 test

requirement.
