Abstract
The microstructure includes an electronic circuit formed by a plurality of transistors (,) and a flat coil formed by a conductive wire or a conductive path (,). The coil (,) is arranged on an upper face (,) of the semiconductor substrate (,). The coil (,) generates a magnetic field (B) in this substrate (,) in the vicinity of the transistors (,) which are situated in superposition with said coil (,). The source (,) and the collector (,) of the sensitive transistors (,) are aligned along a direction perpendicular to the wire or path (,) in the portion of the coil situated in proximity to each of said transistors (,). Thus, the electric current (I) flowing in the transistors (,) is substantially parallel to the magnetic field (B).
