  Van der Pauw method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Van der Pauw method, developed by L.J. van der Pauw in 1958[1], is a technique for doing 4-probe resistivity and Hall effect measurements.
Van der Pauw defines in his paper the resistance R
Further improvement of resistance values can be obtained by repeating the resistance measurements after switching polarities of both the current source and the voltage meter, as this will cancel offset voltages as thermoelectric potentials due to the Seebeck effect.

The Van der Pauw method involves applying a current and measuring voltage using four small contacts on the circumference of a flat, arbitrarily shaped sample of uniform thickness.
Using this method, the resistivity can be derived from a total of eight measurements that are made around the periphery of the sample with the configurations shown in Figure 4.

 Journal of Electronic Materials: High resistivity measurement of SiC wafers using different techniques
To establish fast, nondestructive, and inexpensive methods for resistivity measurements of SiC wafers, different resistivity-measurement techniques were tested for characterization of semi-insulating SiC wafers, namely, the four-point probe method with removable graphite contacts, the van der Pauw method with annealed metal and diffused contacts, the current-voltage (I-V) technique, and the contactless resistivity-measurement method.
The results are cross-referenced with van der Pauw measurements with annealed metal and diffused contacts, current-voltage (I-V) measurements, and the contactless resistivity method using the impedance spectroscopy approach.
The four-point probe and van der Pauw measurements indicate that under the room-light illumination, the resistivity of the sample was in the range 10^sup 6^-10^sup 6^ [Omega]-cm.
