Sheet Resistance方块电阻

Sheet resistance is a measure of the resistance of a thin uniform conductive or semiconductive film, expressed in ohms per square and calculated as material resistivity divided by film thickness. Because this value is independent of the square dimensions for a uniform film, it is widely used in semiconductor process documentation and electrical test records to specify and compare doped layers, conductive films, and thin-film materials.

Where this term appears

The term commonly appears in semiconductor fab documents such as process flow specifications, inline metrology reports, and wafer acceptance test data, where sheet resistance targets are listed for ion implantation, diffusion, metallization, or transparent conductive films. Localizers encounter it in equipment manuals, data sheets, and yield reports that describe layer monitoring and out-of-spec conditions.

Translation checks

A frequent mistranslation is converting ohms per square into ohms per square meter or ohms per square inch, or treating sheet resistance as total resistance across a fixed area. This can corrupt process limits and acceptance criteria in translated specifications, leading readers to misjudge whether a wafer layer meets target conductivity and potentially causing incorrect lot disposition decisions.

Keep the term aligned across your files

Technical terms need checking against the source, approved product terminology and related specifications. Keep units, parameter conditions and document versions aligned across the file set.

Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
