Eliminating ground loops
Light
Some components, such as semiconductor junctions and MOS capacitors on semiconduc-
tor wafers, are excellent light detectors. Consequently, these components must be tested in
a light-free environment. While many test fixtures provide adequate light protection, oth-
ers may allow sufficient light penetration to affect the test results. Areas to check for light
leaks include doors and door hinges, tubing entry points, and connectors or connector
panels.
