    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor may include a semiconductor structure having a planar surface, and first, second, and third sensing devices. The semiconductor structure may include a semiconductor member having a two-dimensional electron gas therein, and an insulator member disposed on the semiconductor member. The first sensing device may be configured to sense magnetic field along a first axis parallel to the planar surface. The second sensing device may be configured to sense magnetic field along a second axis parallel to the planar surface, and orthogonal to the first axis. The third sensing device may be configured to sense a magnetic field along a third axis normal to the planar surface. Each of the first, second, and third sensing devices may be formed in the semiconductor structure and may include electrodes that extend from the insulator member to the two-dimensional electron gas.

    Abstract: Devices and methods for forming a device are presented. The device includes a substrate having a device region and first and second isolation regions surrounding the device region. The device includes a multi-time programmable (MTP) memory cell having a single transistor disposed on the device region. The transistor includes a gate having a gate electrode over a gate dielectric which includes a programmable resistive layer. The gate dielectric is disposed over a channel region having first and second sub-regions in the substrate. The gate dielectric disposed above the first and second sub-regions has different characteristics such that when the memory cell is programmed, a portion of the programmable resistive layer above one of the first or second sub-region is more susceptible for programming relative to portion of the programmable resistive above the other first or second sub-region.
