I have seen single sided antistatic adhesive tape which claims to leave no
residue from suppliers of ESD equipment. I can also remember seeing
semiconductors being manufactured where they use a blue tacky film for
holding bare die when they are sliced up into individual circuits from the
original disc of silicon.
I therefore presume double sided static safe, non-residue tapes are a
possibility!
