We report on the preparation of the first complete extreme temperature Hall sensor. This
means that the extreme-temperature magnetic sensitive semiconductor structure is built-in
an extreme-temperature package especially designed for that purpose. The working
temperature range of the sensor extends from− 270° C to+ 300° C. The extreme-temperature
Hall-sensor active element is a heavily n-doped InSb layer epitaxially grown on GaAs. The

We report on the preparation of the first complete extreme temperature Hall sensor. This means that the extreme-temperature magnetic sensitive semiconductor structure is built-in an extreme-temperature package especially designed for that purpose. The working temperature range of the sensor extends from −270 °C to +300 °C. The extreme-temperature Hall-sensor active element is a heavily n-doped InSb layer epitaxially grown on GaAs. The magnetic sensitivity of the sensor is ca. 100 mV/T and its temperature coefficient is less than 0.04 %/K. This sensor may find applications in the car, aircraft, spacecraft, military and oil and gas industries.
