Abstract

Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) sensor has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its simpler structure and better sensitivity as compared to semiconductor-based Hall sensors. However, up to now, most of the work has been focused on its basic functionalities, with very little attention given to optimizing its performance for practical applications. In this work, we systematically investigated how the lateral dimension affects the performance of CoFeB-based AHE sensors. By adjusting the sensor width while keeping the length and other parameters constant, it is found that although the output signal amplitude decreases with increasing the sensor width, the noise and power consumption also decrease simultaneously, leading to an overall enhancement of the sensor performances with a sensitivity, detectivity, and power efficiency of 8960 Ω/T, 205nT/Hz@1Hz, and 2009 V/WT, respectively. To illustrate the potential applications of AHE sensors, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept experiment to showcase the potential AHE sensor in pulse detection.
