Abstract

To measure the resistance area product of a high resistivity layer using a microscopic multi point probe, the high resistivity layer is sandwiched between two conducting layers. A plurality of electrode configurations/positions is used to perform three voltage or resistance measurements. An equivalent electric circuit model/three layer model is used to determine the resistance area product as a function of the three measurements.
