Abstract
A lateral Hall element includes a substrate, a first-conductivity type active layer formed on the substrate, a first second-conductivity type semiconductor layer formed to surround the first-conductivity type active layer and formed to a depth to reach the substrate, a pair of first first-conductivity type semiconductor layers of high impurity concentration selectively formed with a preset distance apart from each other on the surface of the first-conductivity type active layer, current supply electrodes respectively formed on the pair of first first-conductivity type semiconductor layers, a pair of second first-conductivity type semiconductor layers of high impurity concentration formed with a preset distance apart from each other on the surface of the first-conductivity type active layer in position different from the first first-conductivity type semiconductor layers, sensor electrodes respectively formed on the pair of second first-conductivity type semiconductor layers, and a plurality of second second-conductivity type semiconductor layers formed on the surface of the first-conductivity type active layer in position different from the first and second first-conductivity type semiconductor layers.
