"ABSTRACT
The occurrence of defects of a semiconductor device at the time of transportation is prevented by the present invention relates to a transportation method for a semiconductor device which uses, for transportation of a semiconductor device from the departure point to the arrival point, the transportation route B1+B2 wherein the cosmic ray concentration is the smallest among a plurality of transportation routes A and B1+B2 from the departure point to the arrival point. In addition, the invention also relates to a transportation route selection method for a semiconductor device comprising the step of inputting a departure point and an arrival point for the transportation for a semiconductor device, the step of calculating a plurality of transportation routes A and B1+B2 from the departure point to the arrival point, the step of calculating the cosmic ray concentration in each of the plurality of transportation routes A and B1+B2 and the step of selecting the transportation route wherein the cosmic ray concentration is the smallest among the plurality of transportation routes A and B1+B2."

Okay, I bite :grin: ... so what's the message here, K-H ?

As soon as anybody mentions cosmic rays I become hopelessly lost!
It all dates back to when my parents gave me a cosmic ray gun for my birthday (6 years old)...I kept pulling the trigger but nothing happened! :banghead:

Thought my days of worrying about air travel with a camera ended with the transition to digital!

 

[Knorp]

Good news - your worries just started in earnest with digital ...

It is a google translation, aka automated translation.

Okay, say that ten times, fast...!

Thanks Bart. I would say, it's better for your camera to travel at sea level than at 40,000 feet.
However, if you fly high avoid the most intense cosmic rays spots. :-(

Why not just state the following:

Did you know that all semiconductor devices (sensors/LCDs/chips in general) are extra sensitive to cosmic ray damage at altitude above the earth? YES
Did you know that they are less susceptible to damage at sea level? YES
Here's a way of mitigating that problem ... (tiny that it is btw).

Not geek enough I suppose. :facesmack:

It's a subject that's of interest to me. You can't be too careful

All excellent and well. And phew! am I glad for keeping my gear below sea-level ... :toocool:
Still, you got me baffled K-H as what is the context of co(s)mic rays and Sony here ?


Anyway, tip to all: keep your sensors upright all the time !
Kind regards.
