Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vertical Hall effect device is provided and includes a Hall effect layer having a first, second, third, and fourth Hall effect region, which are at least partly decoupled from each other. The Hall effect layer has first and second opposite faces and the vertical Hall effect device has a terminal composition comprising a first, second, third and fourth terminal. A low ohmic connecting composition at the first face connects the terminal composition with contacts of the Hall effect regions so that at each Hall effect region the terminal composition is connected to a same first number of at least two contacts being connected to the respective Hall effect region at the first face. The second and third terminals selectively output an electrical signal responsive to a magnetic field, and the first and fourth terminals selectively output the electrical signal responsive to the magnetic field.
