PRECAUTIONS FOR CCD AREA SENSORS

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 or plastic.
Therefore,

ų Take care not to drop the device when

mounting, handling, or transporting.

ų Avoid giving a shock to the package.

Especially when leads are fixed to the socket
or the circuit board, small shock could break
the package more easily than when the
package isn't fixed.

2) When applying force for mounting the device or

any other purposes, fix the leads between a
joint and a stand-off, so that no stress will be
given to the jointed part of the lead. In addition,
when applying force, do it at a point below the
stand-off part.

(In the case of ceramic packages)

The leads of the package are fixed with low

melting point glass, so stress added to a
lead could cause a crack in the low melting
point glass in the jointed part of the lead.

(In the case of plastic packages)

The leads of the package are fixed with

package body (plastic), so stress added to a
lead could cause a crack in the package
body (plastic) in the jointed part of the lead.

3) 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 pack-
age may be broken.

4) If any damage or breakage occurs on the sur-

face of the glass cap, its characteristics could
deteriorate.

Therefore,

ų Do not hit the glass cap.
ų 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.

2. Electrostatic Damage

As compared with general MOS-LSI, CCD has
lower ESD. Therefore, 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 M$ between the human body and
the ground to be on the safe side.

2) When directly handling the device with the

fingers, hold the part without leads and do not
touch any lead.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CCD AREA SENSORS

3) To avoid generating static electricity,

a. do not scrub the glass surface with cloth or

plastic.

b. do not attach any tape or labels.

c. 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.

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 the CCD in a clean environment such

as a cleaned booth. (The cleanliness level
should be, if possible, class 1 000 at least.)

2) Do not touch the glass surface with the fingers.

If dust or contamination gets on the glass
surface, the following cleaning method is
recommended :

ų Dust from static electricity should be blown

off with an ionized air blower. For anti-
electrostatic measures, however, ground all
the leads on the device before blowing off
the dust.

The contamination on the glass surface
should be wiped off with a clean applicator
soaked in Isopropyl alcohol. Wipe slowly and
gently in one direction only.

Frequently replace the applicator and do not

use the same applicator to clean more than
one device.

Note : In most cases, dust and contamination

are unavoidable, even before the device
is first used. It is, therefore, recommended
that the above procedures should be
taken to wipe out dust and contamination
before using the device.

4. Other

1) Soldering should be manually performed within

5 seconds at 350 °C maximum at soldering iron.

2) Avoid using or storing the CCD at high tem-

perature or high humidity as it is a precise
optical component. Do not give a mechanical
shock to the CCD.

3) Do not expose the device to strong light. For

the color device, long exposure to strong light
will fade the color of the color filters.
