Abstract
A bipolar magnetotransistor with asymmetric topology, by using only three terminals, is sensitive to specific magnetic field direction. The sensing mechanism is the difference between collector current Ic and base current IB. The experiment is the comparison between the sensitivity during three terminal mode and regular mode. At each condition, the three terminal mode sensitivity is less than that obtained from regular mode. It indicates that three terminals can be designed for optimum devices.
