Dual-Emitter Lateral Magnetometer

总结
Well-known magnetometers and magnetic field sensors employing semiconductor materials are usually either not compatible with standard integrated circuit (IC) fabrication techniques, or are not sufficiently sensitive for practical usage. Currently, in order to obtain the required sensitivity, materials such as permalloy and superconductors are used, such materials need extra manufacturing procedures. There is a need for a magnetometer or magnetic field sensor employing semiconductor materials of sufficient sensitivity for practical applications, and which can be manufactured using standard semiconductor fabrication techniques.

The invention provides a novel magnetic field sensor formed from semiconductor material deposited laterally on an insulating substrate, comprising a pair of cathodes, an anode and a triggering node. Whereby in use a magnetic field is detected as an imbalance between the currents collected at the said pair of cathodes. This current imbalance can be used not only to sense the presence of a magnetic field, but also to measure its strength. This new sensor can be fabricated using conventional IC fabrication techniques and therefore compatible with existing IC manufacturing technology.
