Conversion Formula

fF = pF × 1000

About Picofarads

The picofarad (pF) equals 10⁻¹² F, the everyday unit for small-signal capacitors in RF and high-frequency circuits. Ceramic chip capacitors range from 0.5 to 100 pF; crystal oscillator load capacitance is typically 12-22 pF; PCB trace-to-trace coupling is 0.1-10 pF/cm; the human body presents roughly 100 pF at radio frequencies. 1 pF = 10⁻³ nF = 10⁻¹² F.

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.
