Abstract
A hall sensor ( ) comprises two opposite current supply, contact electrodes ( ) between which an active area ( ) is defined for generating a current flow through the active area and two opposite voltage tapping contact electrodes ( ) for tapping-off a hall voltage, wherein a portion of the respective contact electrodes facing the active area ( ) is formed in such a way that the interfering influence of the contacts on the offset-reduced effect of the spinning current operation is reduced.
