Semiconductors

The semiconductor industry uses a range of anti-static products to manage and control static electricity. Some of the most common anti-static products include:
Static Control Cords and Wrist Straps
These wrist straps are worn by personnel to discharge any static charge safely from their bodies before they handle sensitive components. They are typically grounded to ensure that any potential charge is neutralized before it can reach the semiconductor devices.
Anti-Static Mats
Anti-static mats are placed on work surfaces where semiconductor components are assembled or tested. These mats are designed to dissipate static charge, preventing it from accumulating on the devices. Workbenches may also incorporate conductive or dissipative materials to help protect sensitive semiconductor parts.
Ionizing Air Blowers or Guns
Ionizers are used to neutralize static charges in the air or on objects. In the semiconductor industry, these devices are used to prevent static buildup in cleanroom environments, as they release both positive and negative ions into the environment to neutralize any charges that might accumulate.
ESD Safe Gloves and Clothing
Workers in semiconductor cleanrooms often wear anti-static gloves, smocks, and other clothing made from special materials to prevent static buildup on their bodies. This ensures that they don’t accidentally transfer any static charge onto sensitive devices during handling.
Anti-static Flooring
In semiconductor production areas, anti-static flooring helps prevent the buildup of static electricity from foot traffic. This type of flooring is either conductive or dissipative, ensuring that any static charge is either safely grounded or neutralized in the environment.
Anti-Static Brushes
These brushes are designed to neutralize static electricity on surfaces by gently brushing away static charges without damaging the material. They are often used to clean films, papers, or other materials that are sensitive to static buildup.
