1 Precautions l-3 Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD) Precautions Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
