"Thickness" is a length or distance. The SI unit for length or distance is the meter.

In order to produce a convenient number when you're talking about the thickness

of a piece of paper, you'll probably want to use one of the meter's sub-multiples,

such as the centimeter or millimeter. For tissue or 'onionskin', you might even go

to the micrometer.

Thickness uses the same units as length. The standard SI unit for that is the meter, but the thickness of paper could be expressed in mm or in µm.

A micrometre would be an appropriate unit.
