| Oct 8, 2020 at 15:30 | comment | added | brhans | IMO the difference between resistance and resistivity is in the units, and that 'Sheet Resistivity' is probably the technically correct term to use when describing the bulk characteristics of the material and would be properly expressed with units Ω·cm for sheets of a known thickness. 'Sheet Resistance' would be the resistance of a particular sheet of material with both known thickness and known area, and would be properly expressed with units of just Ω. | |
