Beschreibung
Hall sensors (1D and 3D) are routinely used in magnetic field measurements of beamline magnets, insertion devices, and detector magnets at research institutes and accelerator facilities. These measurements are a high-end application of Hall sensors, demanding high accuracies up to 10-4 (at 1 T level) or even beyond. While this is consistently achieved with uniaxial (1D) Hall sensors in a single-component magnetic field volume, the measurement of all three components of a magnetic field, simultaneously to high accuracy with Hall sensors, remains a challenge. None of the commercially available three-axis (3D) Hall sensors proclaims similar measurement accuracy to 1D Hall sensors. Currently, 3D Hallsensors suffer from either, or a combination, of the following: large spatial distribution between sensors’ active areas; high signal noise; cross-sensitivity among measurement axes due to angular errors or due the planar Hall effect (PHE); the inability to measure at a single point in space and time.
A new type of three-axis Hall sensor is proposed, consisting of three pairs of uniaxial Hall sensors in a very small active volume. Due to its unique configuration, the new sensor can address current three-axis Hall sensor limitations — it provides: a high spatial resolution of 30 μm × 30 μm × 1 μm for each field component; the full field vector measurements practically at a single point in space and time; and compensation of the planar Hall effect as well as loop-induced voltages by the pairs of 1D Hall sensors. The feasibility of the proposed sensor has been proven in a prototype with an active volume as small as 200 μm × 200 μm × 200 μm and outer dimensions of 4 mm × 4 mm × 4 mm. Its design, fabrication, 3D characterization and calibration is reported on.
