10 PRECAUTIONS
10.1 Package breakage
In order to prevent the package from being broken, observe the following instructions:
(1)
The CCD is a precise optical component and the package material is ceramic.
Therefore,
・Take care not to drop the device when mounting, handling, or transporting.
・Avoid giving a shock to the package. Especially when leads are fixed to the socket and the circuit
board, small shock could break the package more easily than when the package isn't fixed.
(2)
When mounting the package on the housing, be sure that the package is not bent.
If a bent package is forced into place between a hard plate or the like, the package may be broken.
(3)
If any damage or breakage occur on the surface of the glass cap, its characteristics could deteriorate.
Therefore,
・Do not hit the glass cap.
・Do not give a shock large enough to cause distortion.
・Do not scrub or scratch the glass surface.
Even a soft cloth or applicator, if dry, could cause dust to scratch the glass.
10.2 Electrostatic damage
As compared with general MOS-LSI, CCD has lower ESD.
Therefore, please take the following anti-static measures when handling the CCD:
(1)
Always discharge static electricity by grounding the human body and the instrument to be used.
To ground the human body, provide resistance of about 1 Meg ohm between the human body and
the ground to be on the safe side.
(2)
When directly handling the device with the fingers, do not touch terminal.
(3)
To avoid generating static electricity,
・do not scrub the glass surface with cloth or plastic
・do not attach any tape or labels
・do not clean the glass surface with dust-cleaning tape
(4)
When storing or transporting the device, put it in a container of conductive material.
10.3 Dust and Contamination
Dust or contamination on the glass surface could deteriorate the output characteristics or cause a scar.
In order to minimize dust or contamination on the glass surface, take the following precautions:
(1)
Handle CCD in a clean environment such as a cleaned booth.
(The cleanliness level should be, if possible, class 1,000 at least.)
