A project funded by the European Commission which started in 1998 has been completed. The aim of this was to establish a measurement system that allows calibration standard capacitors terms R/sub K-90/. whole comprises quantum Hall samples, an automated modular bridge system, and devices calibrate characterize set-up. uncertainty for 10-pF capacitor is about one part 10/sup 7/.
The Bureau International des Poids et Measures (BIPM) carries out a number of comparisons dc voltage standards with National Metrology Institutes (NMIs). These take the form on-site Josephson or bilateral using traveling based on Zener diodes. This paper describes some new procedures used in both types comparison and presents results five recent BIPM key comparisons.

Polycrystalline silicon fuses are one time programmable memory elements which allow the calibration of integrated circuits at wafer and package level. We present a zero-dimensional lumped parameter model programming made from combination tungsten silicide polycrystalline silicon. The components an electrical model, thermal flow model. generates quantitatively accurate results reproduces trends with applied voltage fuse size.

The feasibility of measuring the pressure and humidity dependences 10-V output electronic voltage standards, by analysis data from routine within-group comparisons an ensemble standard accompanying records environmental conditions, has been investigated. method was found to be useful for identifying individual standards with significant sensitivities either or humidity.
Magnetic measurements are vital to support European challenges in areas such as electric vehicles; health; power transformation and harvesting; clean, affordable secure energy; information sensor technology. However, only very few NMIs have the capabilities perform traceable of all most important magnetic quantities. Consequently, adoption novel technologies materials is hindered by lack local metrological expertise that research development activities academia industry could exploit. A...
Electronic voltage standards (EVSs), based on Zener-diode reference elements, are widely used as to maintain a local representation of the unit and transfer for comparisons between at different locations. In order make optimum use such standards, it is important that individual units be characterised effects external influence factors so appropriate corrections can applied. Ambient atmospheric pressure affects outputs some EVSs. An experimental set-up measure coefficient an EVS described...
This report presents the results of a comparison measurements on four electronic DC reference standards performed by national metrology institutes in EUROMET region and BIPM. The comparison, terms degrees equivalence, show that there is good agreement between measurement participants. also time-dependent fluctuations output voltages travelling provide one main sources uncertainty.
