Abstract

A Hall effect transducer in a semiconductor wafer comprises a first layer of semiconducting material, a second layer of semiconducting material, and a contact structure configured to provide a path for electrical current to pass through the second layer. The second layer has higher electron hole mobility than the first layer, and is epitaxially grown atop the first layer.
