A null method, using a bridged circuit, is applied to the so-called four-point probe method using highly resistance probes. A commercial resistor (150 kΩ-10 MΩ) is serially connected with a voltage measurement probe (made of tungsten) in order to give high resistance. The resistivity of a patterned Pt-Pd film about 50 nm thick is successfully measured for the probe spacing down to the submicron scale. The obtained values of resistance remain unchanged irrespective of the inserted resistors. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2006.115]
