Magnetic sensing chips and methods of fabricating the magnetic sensing chips are disclosed. A magnetic sensing chip as described herein includes an EMR sensor formed on a substrate from multiple semiconductor layers. One or more of the semiconductor layers form a quantum well comprising a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) or hole gas (2DHG). The magnetic sensing chip also includes one or more transistors formed on the substrate from the multiple semiconductor layers. The transistor(s) likewise include a quantum well comprising a 2DEG or 2DHG. The EMR sensor and the transistor(s) are connected by one or more connections so that the transistor(s) amplifies data signals from the EMR sensor.
