| Abstract: |
This letter presents a unique device concept of split-current magnetic sensor that is fully compatible with SOI FinFET technology. The fabricated dual-gate four-terminal device brings a step change in SOI integrated sensor capabilities, its measured current related relative sensitivity is as high as 3400 % T-1 at 2 μA of total supply current, comparing to the sensitivity of 3%T-1 exhibited by commercially available silicon MagFETSs. The device’s very high sensitivity is attributed to its novel current conduction phenomena and the internal magnetic deflection enhancement loop demonstrated using 3D TCAD numerical simulations. This new magnetic sensor is a very promising candidate for the next generation of magnetic sensitive smart-power integrated circuits. |
