2026-07-21For silicon wafers or Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) substrates, resistivity is typically adopted on datasheets to characterize their fundamental electrical parameters. Silicon wafers are generally classified into high-resistivity silicon and low-resistivity silicon. High-resistivity silicon contains extremely low impurity concentrations, usually below \(10^{12}\ \mathrm{cm^{-3}}\), resulting in ultra-high resistivity ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 Ω·cm.
