Figure 9
Diagram illustrating a circuit layout with multiple strands and resistors, highlighting a defect in one section.A circuit layout features three strands labelled as strand one, strand two, and strand three. Each strand contains resistors identified by R followed by the strand and resistor number, such as R one one and R two two. The layout includes resistors labelled R sub C. A specific defect is marked with dashed lines and shown as a resistor with a label indicating it is a defect. Connecting paths show the contact area to external circuitry. Data flows from top to bottom within each strand, and components are arranged horizontally across each strand.

Equivalent circuit of a resistor network within a monolayer with a highly simplified change in current flow (IB) due to a local resistance inhomogeneity in resistor R2,2. RC = contact resistance between strands, Ri,j = resistor number j in strand i
