Handling and Storage
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
Electrostatic discharge occurs naturally in the environ-
ment. With the increase in voltage potential, the outlet
of neutralization or discharge will be sought. If the
acquired discharge route is through a semiconductor
device, destructive damage will result.
ESD countermeasure methods should be developed and
used to control potential ESD damage during handling
in a factory environment at each manufacturing site.
MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level)
Plastic encapsulated surface mount package is
sensitive to damage induced by absorbed moisture and
temperature.
Avago Technologies follows JEDEC Standard J-STD
020B. Each component and package type is classified
for moisture sensitivity by soaking a known dry package
at various temperatures and relative humidity, and
times. After soak, the components are subjected to
three consecutive simulated reflows.
The out of bag exposure time maximum limits are de-
termined by the classification test describe below which
corresponds to a MSL classification level 6 to 1 according
to the JEDEC standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B and J-STD-
033.
ACPM-1403 is MSL3. Thus, according to the J-STD-033
p.11 the maximum Manufacturers Exposure Time (MET)
for this part is 168 hours. After this time period, the
part would need to be removed from the reel,
de-taped and then re-baked. MSL classification re-
flow temperature for the ACPM-1403 is targeted at
260°C +0/-5°C. Figure 26 and Table 7 show typical SMT
profile for maximum temperature of 260 +0/-5°C.
