Dessicant
Desiccants are commonly used in semiconductor packaging to help absorb moisture and maintain a dry environment around sensitive electronic components and devices. Semiconductor components and devices are often susceptible to damage from moisture, which can lead to corrosion, electrical short circuits, and reduced performance and reliability.
Desiccants are materials that are designed to absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. They are typically made from substances such as silica gel, molecular sieves, or activated carbon, which have a high surface area and can attract and trap moisture molecules. Desiccants can be packaged in a variety of forms, such as small bags or pouches, or integrated into the packaging material itself.
In semiconductor packaging, desiccant bags or pouches are often placed inside moisture barrier bags or other packaging materials to help maintain a dry environment around the components or devices being packaged. The desiccant absorbs any moisture that might be present in the packaging material or in the surrounding environment, which helps to prevent moisture damage to the components or devices.
Desiccants are available in a range of sizes and capacities to suit different types of packaging and moisture levels. They can be used in a variety of environments, from manufacturing facilities to cleanrooms, and can help to ensure that semiconductor components and devices are stored and transported in a safe and dry environment.
It is important to follow proper handling and storage procedures when using desiccants in semiconductor packaging, including ensuring that they are properly sealed and labeled with a moisture indicator to monitor their effectiveness. Desiccants should be used in conjunction with other moisture control measures, such as moisture barrier bags and moisture indicator cards, to help ensure the highest level of quality and reliability for semiconductor components and devices.
