Electrical measurements on wafers: resistance and resistivity

In semiconductor wafer fabrication different tests and measurements are done to characterize processes, such as electrical measurements. Electrical characteristics such as resistivity and therefore the specific resistance need to be considered.

A good overview on the correlation between both can be found here:
