Patent ID: 10969444

Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a semiconductor circuit arrangement comprising a Hall sensor circuit integrated into a semiconductor substrate and configured to conduct a Hall supply current between a first terminal and a second terminal of a Hall effect region at an angle of 45° with respect to a normal to a primary flat plane of the semiconductor substrate laterally through the Hall effect region, wherein the Hall supply current has a first dependence on a mechanical stress of the semiconductor substrate. A resistance arrangement integrated into the semiconductor substrate, the resistance arrangement being different than the Hall effect region, is configured to conduct a current between a first terminal and a second terminal of the resistance arrangement, wherein the current through the resistance arrangement has a second dependence on the mechanical stress of the semiconductor substrate. A compensation circuit is configured to correct, on the basis of a signal difference between the first terminal of the Hall effect region and the first terminal of the resistance arrangement, a Hall voltage that is measured between a third and a fourth terminal of the Hall effect region and is dependent on the mechanical stress of the semiconductor substrate.
