Handling MOS devices

Question

Specify all the precautions which are to be taken while handling the MOS devices?

Answer 1

Precautions that are to be taken are listed as follows:

a) Individuals that are handling MOSFET devices and their workplaces must be grounded.

b) Whenever a chip is out of the circuit, it must be inserted within the special conductive foam which efficiently shorts all pins alltogether.

c) Within the system design, all the unused pins must be attached to the ground or to the supply voltage.

d) Circuits must have power supplied before connecting or dis-connecting the low impedance signal sources just like pulse generators.
