Abstract
The generation of a Hall voltage within a semiconductor film of an integrated Hall effect sensor uses the flow of a current within the semiconductor film when subjected to a magnetic field. The film is disposed on top of an insulating layer, referred to as buried layer, which is itself disposed on top of a carrier substrate containing a buried electrode that is situated under the insulating layer. A biasing voltage is applied to the buried electrode.
