There are two four point probes at Nanolab. Four point probe from Jandel is located inside the cleanroom(D-3) and Four-Point Probe from Veeco is now located in the basement(346-904).

The Four point probe is manufactured by Jandel Engineering Limited and using Jandel probe head and the RM3000+ Test Unit which can supply constant current between 10nA and 99.99mA, and measure voltage from 0.01mV to 1250mV.

For sheet resistance measurements, the quoted range is 1 milliohm/square to 5x108 ohms/square. Measurements outside this range are possible but with possible reduced accuracy. For volume (bulk) resistivity measurements, the quoted range is 1 milliohm.cm to 1x106 ohm.cm. Measurements outside of this range may be possible but will depend on sample type e.g. whether the sample is a thin layer.
