About Abohm-centimetres
The abohm-centimetre (abΩ·cm) is the resistivity unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 10⁻⁹ Ω × 0.01 m = 10⁻¹¹ Ω·m. It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic analysis of telegraph cables and dynamo windings; silver, the best metallic conductor, has resistivity ≈1.59 nΩ·m = 159 abΩ·cm. 1 abΩ·cm = 10⁻¹¹ Ω·m.
About Ohm-centimetres
The ohm-centimetre (Ω·cm) equals 0.01 Ω·m, the most widely used unit for semiconductor resistivity in device characterisation. Silicon wafers are specified in Ω·cm: lightly doped n-type Si is 100-10 000 Ω·cm; device-grade p-type Si is 1-50 Ω·cm; germanium is ≈0.46 Ω·cm. ASTM F84 and SEMI standards define silicon resistivity measurements in Ω·cm. 1 Ω·cm = 0.01 Ω·m.
