Abstract: A sensor device including a semiconductor substrate having an excitation circuit and a sensing circuit for measuring a magneto-impedance effect of a soft-magnetic component arranged on top of the semiconductor substrate. The soft-magnetic component is operatively connected to the excitation circuit and the sensing circuit, and is electrically connected to at least one of the excitation circuit and the sensing circuit by means of back contacts or side contacts. The soft-magnetic component has an elongated shape or an elongated portion extending in a first direction parallel to the semiconductor substrate; a processing circuit connected to the sensing circuit, and configured for providing a signal indicative of the measured impedance or a value derived therefrom. A method is provided for producing such a semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package and method of fabrication are described. The integrated circuit package includes a lead frame having a first surface and a second opposing surface and a semiconductor die having a first, active surface in which circuitry is disposed and a second opposing surface attached to the first surface of the lead frame. A magnet attached to the second surface of the lead frame has a non-contiguous central region and at least one channel extending laterally from the central region. An overmold material forms an enclosure surrounding the magnet, semiconductor die, and a portion of the lead frame.

Abstract: A sensor device includes a bridge circuit, a bias circuit, and a detection signal receiving circuit. The bridge circuit includes four sensor elements connected in a bridge. The bias circuit includes an oscillation circuit and an averaging circuit. The oscillation circuit outputs an oscillation signal, in which an output voltage in a first output state and an output voltage in a second output state with temperature dependency repeat alternately at a predetermined ratio. The averaging circuit averages the output voltage of the oscillation circuit and applies the averaged output voltage as a bias voltage to a bias end of the bridge circuit. By applying this voltage, the bias circuit excites the bridge circuit and compensates for a temperature characteristic of the sensitivity by offsetting a temperature fluctuation due to a temperature change in its sensitivity.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a spin-qubit quantum magnetometer and radar apparatus, entirely implemented in silicon and with full electrical control. By default, each detection element of the silicon-based spin-qubit quantum magnetometer and radar apparatus with full electrical control of the invention is built around a Field Effect Transistor (FET) on silicon over insulator with a back-gate as well as two front gates, which can be adjacent to one another along the Drain-Source FET channel or alternatively placed across that same channel and facing each other as corner gates.

Abstract: A chopping technique, and associated structure, is implemented to cancel the magnetic 1/f noise contribution in a Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) field sensor. The TMR field sensor includes a first bridge circuit including multiple TMR elements to sense a magnetic field and a second circuit to apply a bipolar current pulse adjacent to each TMR element. The current lines are serially or sequentially connected to a current source to receive the bipolar current pulse. The field sensor has an output including a high output and a low output in response to the bipolar pulse. This asymmetric response allows a chopping technique for 1/f noise reduction in the field sensor.
