Abstract: A structure includes a substrate which includes a surface. The structure also includes a horizontal-type Hall sensor positioned within the substrate and below the surface of the substrate. The structure further includes a protective overcoat layer positioned above the surface of the substrate, and a sphere-shaped magnetic concentrator positioned above the protective overcoat layer. Instead of or in addition to the sphere-shaped magnetic concentrator, the structure may include an embedded magnetic concentrator positioned within the substrate and below the horizontal-type Hall sensor.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a fluxgate magnetometer. The magnetic core of the fluxgate magnetometer is encapsulated with a layer of encapsulant of a nonmagnetic metal or a nonmagnetic alloy. The layer of encapsulate provides stress relaxation between the magnetic core material and the surrounding dielectric. A method for forming an integrated circuit has the magnetic core of a fluxgate magnetometer encapsulated with a layer of a nonmagnetic metal or nonmagnetic alloy to eliminate delamination and to substantially reduce cracking of the dielectric that surrounds the magnetic core.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an anisotropic magneto-resistive (AMR) angle sensor. The sensor comprises a first Wheatstone bridge comprising a first serpentine resistor, a second serpentine resistor, a third serpentine resistor, and a fourth serpentine resistor. The sensor also comprises a second Wheatstone bridge comprising a fifth serpentine resistor, a sixth serpentine resistor, a seventh serpentine resistor, and an eighth serpentine resistor. The serpentine resistors comprise anisotropic magneto-resistive material that changes resistance in response to a change in an applied magnetic field. The sensor also includes a surrounding of anisotropic magneto-resistive material disposed in substantially a same plane as the serpentine resistors, enclosing the serpentine resistors, and electrically isolated from the serpentine resistors. The first Wheatstone bridge, the second Wheatstone bridge, and the surrounding of anisotropic magneto-resistive material are part of a sensor die.

Abstract: In one example, circuitry is formed in a semiconductor die. A magnetic concentrator is formed on a surface of the semiconductor die and over the circuitry. An isolation spacer is placed on a lead frame. The semiconductor die is placed on the isolation spacer, and the magnetic concentrator is aligned to overlap the lead frame. Electrical interconnects are formed between the semiconductor die and the lead frame.

Abstract: A Hall effect sensor comprises a semiconductor substrate, a first well formed in the semiconductor substrate, a first ohmic contact formed in the first well, a second ohmic contact formed in the first well, a first terminal electrically coupled to the first ohmic contact, a second terminal electrically coupled to the second ohmic contact, and a first metal layer formed over the semiconductor substrate. The first metal layer comprises a first interconnect and a first trace, where the first trace is formed over the first well, and where the first interconnect electrically couples a first part of the first well to a second part of the first well. The first and second ohmic contacts are each positioned between the first part and the second part of the first well, where the first interconnect is electrically isolated from the first trace.
