Convert Kilohm-metres to Ohm-centimetres
Convert Kilohm-metres (kΩ·m) to Ohm-centimetres (Ω·cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
Ω·cm = kΩ·m × 100000
About Kilohm-metres
The kilohm-metre (kΩ·m) equals 10³ Ω·m, the scale for moderately insulating ceramics and some geological materials. Granite has bulk resistivity of 1-100 kΩ·m; fired porcelain is 10³-10⁵ kΩ·m; monocrystalline silicon at intrinsic doping (~1.5×10¹⁶ m⁻³) has resistivity ≈ 2.3 kΩ·m at room temperature. 1 kΩ·m = 10³ Ω·m = 10⁵ Ω·cm.
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.
