Instructions for Handling Semiconductors
Electrostatic breakdown of the semi-conductors may occur due to a potential difference caused by electrostatic charge during unpacking or repair work.
1. Ground for Human Body
Be sure to wear a grounding band (1 M�) that is properly grounded to remove any static electricity that may be charged on the body.
2. Ground for Workbench
Be sure to place a conductive sheet or copper plate with proper grounding (1 M�) on the workbench or other surface, where the semi-conductors are to be placed. Because the static electricity charge on clothing will not escape through the body grounding band, be careful to avoid contacting semi-conductors with your clothing.
