Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and particularly to a semiconductor device having a vertical Hall element for detecting a horizontal magnetic field. Background technique [0002] Hall elements are used as magnetic sensors for non-contact position detection and angle detection, so they are used in various applications. Among them, a magnetic sensor using a horizontal Hall element that detects a magnetic field component perpendicular to the surface of a semiconductor substrate is generally known, but various magnetic sensors using a vertical Hall element that detects a magnetic field component parallel to the surface of the substrate are also proposed. sensor. Furthermore, a magnetic sensor that detects a magnetic field two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally by combining a horizontal Hall element and a vertical Hall element has also been proposed. [0003] However, it is difficult to increase the sensitivity of the vertical H...
