ABSTRACT:
A Hall device consists of a single-crystal semiconductor substrate of (110) orientation, an active region formed on the substrate, a pair of input current terminals for passing a predetermined current through the active region, and a pair of output voltage terminals for measuring a potential difference to be produced in a direction orthogonal to the predetermined current flowing between the input current terminals. The surface of the active region is in a (110) plane, to minimize a fluctuation in the offset output of the device due to internal stress and precisely measure a magnetic field. This device is resistive against heat caused by soldering when mounting the device on a system.
