Convert Gigafarads to Femtofarads
Convert Gigafarads (GF) to Femtofarads (fF) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
fF = GF × 1.000000000e+24
About Gigafarads
The gigafarad (GF) equals 10⁹ F, numerically identical to the CGS-EMU abfarad. No physical capacitor approaches 1 GF; the value arises in theoretical superconducting circuit analysis and in historical CGS-EMU electromagnetic texts where the abfarad (= 1 GF) was the natural capacitance unit. 1 GF = 10³ MF = 10⁹ F = 1 abF.
About Femtofarads
The femtofarad (fF) equals 10⁻¹⁵ F, the standard unit for transistor gate capacitances in CMOS technology and MEMS sensors. Transistors in 7 nm process nodes have gate capacitances of 0.5-5 fF; MEMS capacitive pressure sensors use sense-gap capacitances of 1-100 fF; integrated-circuit bond-pad parasitics and via coupling are quantified in femtofarads. 1 fF = 10⁻³ pF = 10⁻¹⁵ F.
