Subject:        [TN] Kapton Tape and ESD Concerns

Good afternoon everyone,

We did an evaluation of Kapton tape and ESD concerns and found that by
pulling the tape off of the reel we were able to generate over 1100 volts
(as measured by the 3M 711 Charge Analyzer.  Does anyone else have any
experience with Kapton tape and ESD concerns?  What are the alternatives?
Any historical problems with Kapton and ESD?  We typically use the Kapton
for masking gold fingers.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich Lasko
