ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for minimizing electrostatic discharge damage to semiconductor objects utilizes an ionized air stream to reduce electrostatic and triboelectric potential build up in and surrounding semiconductor storage containers. The ionized air stream is continuously directed to a designated area where stored semiconductor objects are being removed from. Electrostatic and triboelectric potential is greatly reduced, minimizing the threat of electrostatic discharge and damage.
