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.
About Siemens
The siemens (S) is the SI derived unit of electrical conductance, equal to 1 ampere per volt (1 A/V = 1 Ω⁻¹ = 1 kg⁻¹·m⁻²·A²·s³), named after Werner von Siemens (1816-1892). Also known as the mho (℧), it describes how easily current flows: a 1 Ω resistor has 1 S conductance. Power MOSFETs are characterised by 1/Rₛ_ₒₙ in siemens; large RF transistors operate with transconductance of 1-10 S.
