Abstract

The accurate measurement of the resistor load effect is necessary for precision resistance transfer, especially in international comparisons. In this article, a method to evaluate the resistor load effect using the combined quantum hall resistance (QHR) is proposed. The cryogenic current comparator (CCC) is selected to achieve optimal comparison performance. With the combined QHR device composed of four GaAs QHR in series and parallel as the reference, the compare load limitation is enlarged, while the resistance with the single QHR is maintained. This contributes to a reliable method for high-precision resistance transfer under different loads. Afterward, the QHR combining contact resistor model is established and analyzed. Finally, a series of experiments between the combined QHR and the measured 100 Ω resistor are performed with different currents. The resistor load coefficient is deduced as -1.69× 10-9 /mW with a fit uncertainty of 8.28× 10-11 /mW, and its effectiveness is validated by calculating fit resistance deviation.
