Welcome to the sheet resistance calculator

This calculator determines the sheet resistance of an arbitrarily doped semiconductor at equilibrium.

The calculator simulates a four-point probe measurement of a surface doped region, such as an emitter, a back-surface field or a front-surface field of a photovoltaic (PV) solar cell. The user can either generate a dopant profile, or upload a profile from a SIMS, ECV, or spreading-resistance measurement. The calculator then determines the sheet resistance and the junction depth at any temperature.

The assumptions used in the calculations are described on the ''About'' page.

New in this version:

  • A bug was fixed in which the temperature ws always treated as Kelvin, even if Celcius was selected as an option.
