This document describes measuring the resistivity of semiconductors using the four-probe method. It explains that semiconductors have electrical conductivity between conductors and insulators that decreases with increasing temperature. The four-probe method uses four probes in contact with the semiconductor in a straight line to supply current and measure voltage. The resistivity is calculated using the measured voltage, current, probe spacing, and thickness along with a correction factor that depends on thickness and spacing. Temperature dependence of resistivity follows an exponential relationship related to the material's band gap. The four-probe method provides an accurate way to characterize semiconductors and their use in devices like resistance thermometers and induction hardening processes.
