System for electrostatic removal of debris and associated methods

摘要

A debris removal device for electrostatically removing debris may include a sheet comprising a plurality of conductive traces and a driver circuit positioned in electrical communication with the conductive traces of the sheet. Each conductive trace may be spaced apart from adjacent conductive traces. Furthermore, the driver circuit may be configured to selectively energize subsets of the plurality of conductive trace. The driver circuit may be configured to energize the subsets of the plurality of conductive traces sequentially.
