As non-destructive methods for determining the sheet resistance (or resistivity) of semiconductor thin films grown on semi-insulating substrates, the four-probe method and eddy current method are representative. However, their application to wide-bandgap semiconductors and small-area samples is often difficult. We have investigated a method for determining sheet resistance from impedance measurements in the microwave region and report its outline and results.
