Abstract: A technique for determining an offset-reduced Hall voltage (Uh), and/or an offset voltage (UH, offset) of a Hall sensor (1) includes applying a Hall sensor current (I) at first and second taps (a1, a2, a3) of the Hall sensor (1), and determining a first Hall voltage (Uh1) at third and fourth taps (a3, a4) displaced from the first and second taps (a1, a2, a5). A second Hall sensor current is applied modified relative to the first, and a second Hall voltage (Uh2) is determined. The Hall voltage (Uh) and/or Hall voltage offset (Uh,offset) are determined from the first and second Hall voltages. To compensate any offset present, a second measurement applies the second Hall sensor current I at taps (a3, a4) that are spatially displaced relative to the first and/or second taps.

Abstract: For improved offset compensation, a Hall sensor is provided with a device for orthogonally switching the Hall detector supply current and the Hall-voltage taps. A summing device determines an offset-compensated Hall-voltage value from first and second predetermined Hall-voltage values.

The first and second Hall cells are identical and are orthogonally switchable. The geometrical orientation of the first and second Hall cells includes an angle other than 0.degree. and 180.degree..

Abstract: A method of producing an integrated insulated-gate field-effect transistor with an increased breakdown voltage provides in that at least one of the two zones, i.e. the source zone and/or the drain zone is surrounded by a relatively high-ohmic partial zone. This partial zone or the partial zones are first produced by way of ion implantation with the aid of a first implantation mask. After removal of this mask, the entire area of the field-effect transistor is covered with an oxidation masking layer comprising several selectively etchable partial layers, of which the lower partial layer is finally exposed and serves as the gate insulating layer. With the aid of the photoresist mask serving as an etching mask, openings are etched through the oxidation masking layer. The photoresist mask, together with the portions of the oxidation masking layer remaining therebelow, is used as an ion implantation mask for manufacturing both the source zone and the drain zone.

Abstract: In the process according to the invention, in addition to the conventional two photoresist processes for opening the contact holes and for manufacturing the interconnecting pattern, two photoresist processes are used with one photoresist mask each for manufacturing the regions of the planar transistor. Without additional photoresist masks, further semiconductor components, such as integrated resistors and/or lateral transistors are capable of being manufactured. The process is characterized by the fact that, the first photoresist mask is used to manufacture a diffusion masking layer which leaves the base area of the planar transistor unmasked. In this area, the dopings of the collector region are introduced into the substrate and the collector region is diffused. Thereafter, at a relatively small dose rate, there is carried out an implantation of dopings of the base region. Upon removal of the diffusion masking layer and by employing a second photoresist mask, an oxidation masking layer is deposited which covers both the rim portion of the collector region and the emitter area. The oxidation masking layer serves as an implantation mask for the dopings of the external base partial region and for manufacturing an implantation mask of a thermally produced silicon oxide. Through the openings in this implantation mask there is effected the implantation of the dopings of the emitter region and those of the collector connecting region.
