Abstract

Ease of fabrication and the signal-to-noise ratio are two important parameters for integrated magnetic sensors. Sensors fabricated in both bulk CMOS and silicon on insulator (SOI) technologies enjoy the benefit of ease of fabrication. In this paper, we study the signal-to-noise ratios of various CMOS magnetic sensors. We show that the minimum detectable signal (MDS) for a split-drain magnetic sensor is proportional to Sa-1I-3/2while that for the linear carrier-domain magnetometer (LCDM) and lateral thyristive magnetometer (LTM) in SOI technologies is Sa-1I-1/2.
