Abstract
Interest in two-probe resistance, (spreading resistance) measurements dates back perhaps 20 years. It arose at a time when the development of a number of techniques for measuring resistivity and resistivity profiles was being pursued, primarily for germanium and silicon technology. In the early days of its use, diffusions were relatively deep and control of epitaxial resistivity was an important problem. The structures of interest have changed noticeably in the interveninng years. Ion implantation has come into regular use and the dimensional scale of diffusions and epitaxy have been considerably reduced.
