About Gigasiemens
The gigasiemens (GS) equals 10⁹ S, the conductance equivalent of a 1 nΩ resistance and numerically identical to the CGS-EMU absiemens. Short, thick copper interconnects in power electronics - such as a 10 mm thick 10 cm² copper slug - approach 1 GS conductance; cryogenically cooled metallic bar specimens near absolute zero show gigasiemens values. 1 GS = 10⁹ S = 1 abS.
About Picosiemens
The picosiemens (pS) equals 10⁻¹² S, the practical scale for leakage conductance in MOSFET gate oxides, precision insulators, and high-impedance voltage probes. A 10 GΩ oscilloscope probe presents 100 pS input conductance; reverse-leakage in a silicon signal diode at room temperature is typically 1-10 pS; PTFE cable insulation is specified below 1 pS/m. 1 pS = 10⁻³ nS = 10⁻¹² S.
