Very small capacitance measurements at femtofarad scale can be affected by noise and parasitic elements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a statfarad?
-
A statfarad (stF) is the cgs–electrostatic unit of electrical capacitance corresponding to one centimetre in Gaussian units.
-
What does a femtofarad measure?
-
A femtofarad (fF) is a unit of capacitance equal to 10^-15 farads, used for extremely small capacitance values in microelectronics and nanoscale devices.
-
Why convert statfarad to femtofarad?
-
Converting statfarad to femtofarad translates theoretical and legacy Gaussian unit values into precise SI units used in practical microelectronics and nanotechnology applications.
