µΩ·cm = Ω·cm × 1000000
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.
About Microohm-centimetres
The microohm-centimetre (µΩ·cm) equals 10⁻⁸ Ω·m = 10 nΩ·m, the traditional unit for bulk metal resistivity in materials science. Copper is 1.68 µΩ·cm; tungsten 5.6 µΩ·cm; platinum 10.6 µΩ·cm; CRC Handbook tables still list metal resistivities in µΩ·cm. 1 µΩ·cm = 10⁻⁸ Ω·m = 10 nΩ·m.
