Instructions for Handling
Semi-conductors
Electrostatic breakdown of the semi-conductors may
occur due to a potential difference caused by electro-
static charge during unpacking or repair work.
1. Ground for Human Body
Be sure to wear a grounding band (1M
Ω
) that is prop-
erly grounded to remove any static electricity that may
be charged on the body.
2. Ground for Workbench
(1) Be sure to place a conductive sheet or copper plate
with proper grounding (1M
Ω
) 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 ground-
ing band, be careful to avoid contacting semi-con-
ductors with your clothing.
