This paper presents the simulation model of Dual Magnetodiode and Dual Schottky Magnetodiode using Sentaurus TCAD to simulate the virtual structure of magneto device and apply Hall Effect to measure magnetic field response of the device. Firstly, we use the program to simulate the magnetodiode with p-type semiconductor and aluminum anode and measure electrical properties and magnetic field sensitivity. Simulation results show that sensitivity of Dual Schottky magnetodiode is higher than that of Dual magnetodiode.

Four-terminal transducers can be used to measure the magnetic field via the Hall effect or the mechanical stress via the piezoresistance effect. Both effects are described by an anisotropic conductivity tensor with small offdiagonal elements. This has led other authors to the conclusion that there is some kind of analogy. In both cases the output voltage depends on the geometry of the device and the size of the contacts. For Hall plates this influence is accounted for by the Hall-geometry factor. The alleged analogy proposes that the Hall-geometry factor also applies to four-terminal stress transducers. This paper shows that the analogy holds only for a limited class of devices. Moreover, it is shown that devices of different geometries may have identical magnetic field sensitivity but different mechanical stress sensitivities. Thus, shape optimization makes sense for mechanical stress sensors. In extreme cases the output voltages of vertical Hall-effect devices may have notable magnetic field sensitivity but zero mechanical stress sensitivity. As byproduct, exact analytical formulae for the equivalent resistor circuit of rectangular and circular devices with two perpendicular mirror symmetries are given. They allow for an accurate description of how mechanical stress and deformation affect the output offset voltage and the magnetic sensitivity of Hall-effect devices.

The electrical properties and the Hall effect in semiconductor compounds Ag0.01Mn0.99S and Tm0.01Mn0.99S have been studied in the temperature range 80–400 K in a magnetic field of 12 kOe. The mechanism of conduction is established, which depends on the type of doping and concentration from the current - voltage characteristics. At the replacement of manganese by silver, the Mott type was found, and the replacement by thulium causes ohmic conductivity. The mobility and type of charge carriers are found from the Hall constant.

Hall-effect and resistivity measurements of semiconductor alloys of the type Culn1−yGaySe2(1−x)Te2x have been made over the temperature range 77–300 K. All materials were p-type with mobilities in the range 1 < μ < 10 cm2/V∙s. The observed electrical properties are interpreted in terms of the presence of intrinsic defects arising from dissimilar evaporation of the constituent elements of the materials during melting and annealing stages.

Since ZnO is a wide band gap (3.37 eV) semiconductor with a large exitonic binding energy (60 meV), it has been considered as a candidate for various applications, such as ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes and laser diodes. For the applications of ZnO-based optoelectronic devices, it is necessary to produce n and p type ZnO films with the high quality. Since ZnO is naturally n-type semiconductor material due to intrinsic defects, such as oxygen vacancies, zinc interstitials, etc., it is easy to produce n-type ZnO with high quality. However, it is difficult to produce low-resistive and stable p-type ZnO due to its asymmetric doping limitations and the self-compensation effects of the intrinsic defects. According to the theoretical studies, p-type ZnO can be realized using group-V dopants substituting for O, such as N, P and As. Among them, N has been suggested to be an effective acceptor dopant candidate to achieve p-type ZnO, because that nitrogen has a much smaller ionic size than P and As and the energy level of substitutional NOis lower than that of substitutional POand AsO.Transparent p-type ZnO: N thin films have been fabricated using the pulsed laser deposition method at deposition temperatures 800 °C under the O2and N2mixing pressure 6Pa. N-doped ZnO films were deposited on sapphire substrate using metallic zinc (99.999%) as target. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the films were examined by XRD, UV-visit spectra and Hall effect measurement. We found that thin film contain the hexagonal ZnO structure. The Hall effect measurement revealed that the carrier concentration is 5.84×10181/ cm3, and Hall mobility is 0.26 cm2/Vs, electrical resistivity is 4.12ohm-cm. Film thickness is 180nm. Besides, Visible light transmittance is more than 80%, and calculative band-gap is 3.1 eV, which is lower than ZnO.

Abstract Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is is a multipurpose semiconductor with many uses such as ultra-capacitor electrode [1], spintronic devices [2], multigas sensing [3–6], piezoelectric devices [7], ultra-violet LEDs [8], detectors [9] as well as waveguides [10–12]. In its thin film form, ZnO has a large adaptation to several deposition methods such as chemical vapor deposition [13], pulsed laser deposition [14], spray pyrolysis [15], dip-coating [16] and electrochemical deposition [17]. ZnO has very interesting characteristics for application in electronics and optoelectronics devices, especially its exciton binding energy of 60 meV at 300K, a wide direct band gap of 3.37 eV [18]. In addition to an ordinary and extraordinary refractive indexes of ne = 2.006 and no = 1.990 respectively [19]. To modify its electrical properties, ZnO was doped with Group III elements such as Al, Ga and In which acted as donor dopants to reinforce its n-type electrical nature and group V elements such as N, P, As and Sb which acted as acceptor dopants which changed ZnO to be a p-type semiconductor [20]. Controlling the refractive index of ZnO thin films was achieved by several ways including thermal annealing [21] and doping with In [22], Te, N [23] and Mg [24]. However, the e↵ect of dopants on the optical and electrical properties of ZnO is still not well understood.
