The role of the nitrogen flow rate on the transport properties of CrN thin films produced by DC magnetron sputtering

TL;DR: In this paper, thin films of CrN were synthesized in a DC magnetron sputtering system using a mixture of Ar + N 2 and were examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealing Cr N bonds.

Determination of topological properties of thin samples by the van der Pauw method

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors solve the problem of determining basic topological properties of flat samples by performing measurements on their outer edge and show that the global maximum of four probe resistances shows a characteristic behaviour, which is dependent on the genus (i.e., the number of holes) of the domain.

Easy and computer-time-saving implementation of the van der Pauw method including anisotropy and probe positioning correction factors using approximate closed-form analytical functions.

TL;DR: In this article , a closed-form analytical function is proposed to approximate the relations in a van der Pauw configuration using only basic operators, which can be easily implemented in a given software.

Four-point sheet resistance correction factors for thin rectangular samples

TL;DR: In this article, a conformal transformation technique is employed to determine the geometrical correction factor associated with four-point sheet resistance measurements of thin rectangular samples, which is useful in identifying sample geometries for which the correction factor is insensitive to the placement of the four electrodes on the interior of the sample.

Measurement of the resistivity of a thin square sample with a square four-probe array

TL;DR: In this paper, the resistivity measurement error encountered with the square sample is presented in graphical form for use in test structure design, based on the method of images and is written in a compact, easily-evaluated form.

A derivation of the van der Pauw formula from electrostatics

TL;DR: The van der Pauw formula for determining the electrical resistivity of an irregularly-shaped material was derived by him with the help of conformal mapping and is inherently two-dimensional Thus, it is valid in the limiting case of a sample of infinitesimal thickness as discussed by the authors.

Generalization of the van der Pauw relationship derived from electrostatics

TL;DR: Weiss et al. as mentioned in this paper derived the van der Pauw relationship from a conducting material of rectangular cross section with contacts placed at the corners, which is a generalization of the previous work involving a square sample and a square array of electrodes that are not confined to the corners.
