We carried out the experiments on particle deposition onto the cleanroom wall panels. And then we investigated the particle deposition characteristic coefficients for electrostatic voltages and particle size. It was found that there is little difference in characteristics of the particle deposition between the steel panel and the anti-static coating panel. In case of that the particle size is under $1.0{\mu}m$, the particle deposition characteristic coefficient becomes larger as the electrostatic voltage induced to the cleanroom wall panel is increasing. Where in case of that the particle size is over $3.0{\mu}m$, the particle deposition characteristic coefficients do not show any differences with the electrostatic voltages. It is due to that the electrostatic force is the major particle transport mechanism for submicron particles, while the gravitational settling is the major particle transport mechanism for overmicron particles when the electro-static voltages are induced to the cleanroom wall panel.

In this study, we found out charged particle's deposition characteristic by experiments of $0.5{\mu}m$, $1.0{\mu}m$, $3.0{\mu}m$ size particle's concentration decay. We carried out the experiments on charged particle deposition onto the vertical cleanroom wall panel and some other fundamental experiments. The particle deposition mechanism is consist of sedimentation, convection, diffusion, thermophoresis, electrostatic and so on. Particle size determines mainly working deposition mechanism. The charged particle is made with corona discharge that are constituted field charging and diffusion charging. In addition, this combinational mechanism is called combined charging. The type of corona discharge determines quantity of particle electrical charge. In conclusion, we assumed that quantity of particle electrical charge accelerations deposition velocity onto the vertical cleanroom wall panel and proved it. And we figured out particle's deposition characteristic through compared between our experiment's results.
