kV·cm = V·cm × 0.001
About Volt-centimetres
The volt-centimetre (V·cm) equals 0.01 V·m, used in semiconductor device physics where field strengths in V/cm and areas in cm² are standard. Flux through a 1 cm² silicon cross-section at 1 V/cm is 1 V·cm; breakdown flux integrals in GaN and SiC power devices are quoted in V·cm and kV·cm. 1 V·cm = 0.01 V·m = 10 mV·m.
About Kilovolt-centimetres
The kilovolt-centimetre (kV·cm) equals 10³ V × 0.01 m = 10 V·m. In power device characterisation where field strengths are in kV/cm (typical dielectric breakdown is 3-30 kV/cm) and areas in cm², the kV·cm is the natural flux unit; SiC MOSFET blocking-layer flux integrals are in the kV·cm range. 1 kV·cm = 10 V·m = 10³ V·cm.
