What is the advantage of four probe method over other conventional methods?

I assume you are referring to methods of measuring small value resistances, as in locating short circuits on a PC card. Two probe is the method used by standard ohm meters. This works OK for most resistance values, as the resistance of the leads & probes is much lower than the resistance being measured. But when the resistance being measured gets very tiny (e.g. a few milliohms) it fails as the resistance of the leads & probe are of the same order of magnitude and are in series with it. Four probe solves this problem by using two probes connected to a current source to drive the resistance and a separate two probes connected to a precision voltmeter calibrated in milliohms. The voltage drop in the leads due to the test current does not get measured by the calibrated voltmeter, as it does in two probe method. There is no voltage drop in the measurement leads as the voltmeter is high impedance.

Why you measure resistivity and not resistance in four probe method?

Resistivity is a constant for a material as opposed to resistance which is dependent on size considerations. This is analogous to specific heat capacity and heat capacity. It can be said that resistivity is more useful for comparison because other factors (size) have been accounted for.In the case of using the four-probe method to measure the thickness of a thin film:ρ = (V/I) x (thickness of film) x (correction factor)We measure the current and voltage using the four-probe method, from which we can get the resistance between the probes. Knowing the resistivity, which is constant for the material and can be obtained from sources such as books, will enable us to relate the resistance to the dimensions of the film.
