General Safety Precautions and Usage Considerations

This section is designed to help you gain a better understanding of semiconductor devices, so as to ensure the

safety, quality and reliability of the devices which you incorporate into your designs.

3.1.1

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

When handling individual devices (which are not yet mounted on a printed circuit

board), be sure that the environment is protected against electrostatic electricity.

Operators should wear anti-static clothing, and containers and other objects which

come into direct contact with devices should be made of anti-static materials and should

be grounded to earth via an 0.5- to 1.0-M

Ω protective resistor.

Please follow the precautions described below; this is particularly important for devices

which are marked “Be careful of static.”.

(1) Work environment

• When humidity in the working environment decreases, the human body and other insulators can easily

become charged with static electricity due to friction. Maintain the recommended humidity of 40% to 60% in

the work environment, while also taking into account the fact that moisture-proof-packed products may

absorb moisture after unpacking.

• Be sure that all equipment, jigs and tools in the working area are grounded to earth.

• Place a conductive mat over the floor of the work area, or take other appropriate measures, so that the floor

surface is protected against static electricity and is grounded to earth. The surface resistivity should be 104 to

108

Ω/sq and the resistance between surface and ground, 7.5 × 105 to 108 Ω

• Cover the workbench surface also with a conductive mat (with a surface resistivity of 104 to

108

Ω/sq, for a resistance between surface and ground of 7.5 × 105 to 108 Ω) . The purpose of this is to

disperse static electricity on the surface (through resistive components) and ground it to earth. Workbench

surfaces must not be constructed of low-resistance metallic materials that allow rapid static discharge when a

charged device touches them directly.

• Pay attention to the following points when using automatic equipment in your workplace:

(a) When picking up ICs with a vacuum unit, use a conductive rubber fitting on the end of the pick-up wand

to protect against electrostatic charge.

(b) Minimize friction on IC package surfaces. If some rubbing is unavoidable due to the device’s mechanical

structure, minimize the friction plane or use material with a small friction coefficient and low electrical

resistance. Also, consider the use of an ionizer.

electricity.

(d) Ensure that no statically charged bodies (such as work clothes or the human body) touch the devices.
