Convert Femtoamperes to Attoamperes

Convert Femtoamperes (fA) to Attoamperes (aA) instantly and accurately.

Conversion Formula

aA = fA × 1000

About Femtoamperes

The femtoampere (fA) equals 10⁻¹⁵ A, encountered in patch-clamp background noise, advanced CMOS sub-threshold leakage, and electrochemical scanning probe measurements. Individual ion channels in biological membranes produce baseline noise currents of a few femtoamperes; the off-state leakage of a modern 3 nm transistor is well below 1 fA per device. 1 fA = 10⁻³ pA = 10³ aA.

About Attoamperes

The attoampere (aA) equals 10⁻¹⁸ A, the scale of single-electron tunnelling currents in quantum devices. Individual electrons tunnelling through a molecular junction or quantum dot produce average currents of order 1-100 aA when measured at sub-microsecond resolution; cryogenic shot-noise electrometers achieve sub-attoampere sensitivity. 1 aA = 10⁻³ fA = 10⁻¹⁸ A.
