MOS is sensitive to static electricity. How do you protect MOSFETs from static electricity?

To protect MOSFETs from static electricity, each input pin of CMOS transistors is equipped with a protection circuit to protect the input gate from static electricity. Generally, they are rated at 2 kV or higher according to Human Body Model (HBM).

The situations in which the device is directly subjected to discharge should be avoided, even though protection circuits are implemented. Despite the presence of these circuits, there remains a risk of device breakdown, damage, or deterioration.
Please also refer to “Semiconductor Handling Precautions and Requests” for general measures against static electricity.
