1 ESD PACKAGING, STORAGE AND STATIONERY INTRODUCTION During storage and transport, ESD sensitive devices require special packaging to protect them from ESD damage. For transport outside an ESD Protected Area (EPA), protection is achieved by enveloping the device in a material with a shielding layer, such as a shielding bag. The envelope is frequently referred to as having the effect of a Faraday Cage. An ESD packaging material will also often provide mechanical protection or protection against contamination by dust or humidity (e.g. moisture barrier or shielding bubble bags). When storing...
