Accurate High-Ohmic Resistance Measurement Techniques up to 1 Pohm

Abstract

An overview is presented on precision high-ohmic resistance measurements for values of 100 Mohmand above. The two main measurement techniques in this resistance range are discussed, the current integration technique and the adapted Wheatstone bridge. The quality of high-ohmic resistance standards, especially their time constants, temperature and voltage dependence, often is limiting the final uncertainty that can be reached. Still, expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of only a few parts in 10^5 are achievable at the 1 Tohm level.
