The length of Base sheet resistance values across a silicon wafer for both the bridge and van der Pauw structures. The dimen- sion refers to the active portion of the structures; di- ameters are indicated for 3.11 and 3.30, the length of Base bridge and van der Pauw sheet resistor structures. The center-to-center metal pad spacings are indicated. The voltage points are denoted V1 and V2, and the cur- rent points are denoted 11 and 12. The van der Pauw Base-diffusion-window width across three silicon wafers = The orthogonal van der Pauw sheet resistor structure and its mathematical equivalent geometry. The dimen- sion S = 1.5 mil (38 μm), A/S 1/3, and D/S = 1/6. Influence of geometrical factors on the orthogonal van der Pauw sheet resistance measurement as determined by a theoretical calculation. In the van der Pauw formula, Rs (VDP), AV is V1-V2 for a current I passed into I1 and Junction C-V apparent dopant profiles taken with the use 14 Figure 10. Figure 11. Figure 12. Figure 13.
