Abstract

This paper deals with thin solder film measurement using high frequency resonator. Measurement of surface resistance of a conductor that consists of a layer of solder that is applied to the conductive material was done on high frequency, in the range of 500-5000 MHz. This frequency range is chosen because the skin effect concentrates the current flow in a conductor in its surface layer. The RF resistance is critically determined by the properties of a few micrometer thick layer.
