Abstract
A semiconductor devices has a vertical Hall element formed on a semiconductor substrate, the vertical Hall element including a semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type formed above the semiconductor substrate; an impurity diffusion layer of the second conductivity type formed in an upper portion of the semiconductor layer and having a concentration higher than that of the semiconductor layer; a plurality of electrodes formed on a surface of the impurity diffusion layer, arrayed in a straight line, and each formed from an impurity region of the second conductivity type; a plurality of electrode isolation diffusion layers of the first conductivity type each formed between two adjacent electrodes; and a buried layer formed between the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor layer, and having a concentration higher than that of the semiconductor layer and lower than that of the impurity diffusion layer.
