Properties: Resistivity
Sheet resistance versus thickness for silicon-filled forests (red circles), silicon nitride-filled forests (green squares), and 20 nm of silicon followed by filling with silicon nitride (blue diamonds) reveals the expected inverse proportionality relationship. The solid line is calculated for an infinitely thin sample with resistivity of 3.6 cm.
