Investigating the use of indirect sensing techniques to reduce the effect of geometrical correction factors in semiconductor Hall effect platesMellet, D.S. January 2014 (has links)
This research thesis seeks to investigate a new method to sense the classical Hall effect in
Hall devices under the influence of a magnetic field primarily manufactured in
complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies.
The thesis poses a research question enabling the investigation into whether or not the
geometrical factor in a classical Hall device can be improved by proposing a new method
to sense the Hall effect indirectly in standard CMOS technology. State of the art Hall effect
devices rely on low ohmic contacts to sense the Hall voltage effect. These contacts along
with the geometry can have an adverse effect on the Hall device sensitivity. Furthermore,
the Hall voltage in Silicon can be very limited in comparison to high mobility
semiconductor materials. It was found that by replacing the highly doped n-type sensing
contacts of the Hall device with highly doped p-type contacts, a vertical bipolar junction
transistor could be formed. This transistor, normally considered a parasitic element,
ultimately leads to a very useful sensing technique in which the Hall current is sensed and
amplified by the transistor forward gain, β + 1. The Hall effect appears as a current through
the emitter of the transistor.
The major contribution of this research resides in a novel method to measure as well as
amplify the Hall effect in a square n-well plate manufactured on a standard CMOS
technology. The research also bridges the gap found in literature on the subject of direct
versus indirect Hall sensing techniques. The outcome of the research also addresses
practical implementations of such alternate methods as well as the effect the methods have on fundamental noise limits and differences in noise between the proposed method and
traditional methods. The device although not improving the fundamental geometrical
factor of the plate which was found to be dominated by the geometry itself, was proven to
be functional as well as behaving according to Hall effect theory. Furthermore, the gain
that even low forward gain bipolar transistors contribute to the signal, more than
compensates for the loss of Hall effect contributed by the geometrical correction factor.
The method also contributes less noise in comparison to typical traditional methods of Hall
voltage amplification using operational amplifiers. The proposed method thus allows for a
very simple measuring technique that is compatible with standard CMOS technology
processes. ## Hierdie navorsings tesis is gemik daarop om 'n nuwe meetmetode te ondersoek om die
klassieke Hall effek te meet in Hall toestelle onder die invloed van 'n magneetveld wat
primér in komplementêre metaaloksied-halfgeleiertegnologie (CMOS) vervaardig word.
Die tesis stel 'n navorsingsvraag wat lei tot die ondersoek van die vraag of die geometriese
faktor in 'n klassieke Hall toestel verbeter kan word deur om 'n nuwe metode voor te stel
om die Hall effek indirek te meet in standaard CMOS tegnologie. Nuutste navorsing oor
meetmetodes in Hall effek toestelle, maak nog steeds staat op lae ohmiese kontakte om die
Hall spanning effek te meet. Hierdie kontakte saam met die meetkunde van die toestel, het
'n nadelige uitwerking op die Hall toestel se sensitiwiteit. Verder is die Hall spanning in
Silikon baie beperk met vergelyking tot hoë mobiliteit halfgeleier materiale. Daar is gevind
dat deur die vervanging van die hoogs gedoteerde n-tipe meetkontakte van die Hall toestel
met hoogs gedoteerde p-tipe kontakte, kan vertikale bipolêre transistors gevorm word.
Hierdie transistor, gewoonlik beskou as 'n parasitiese element, lei tot 'n baie nuttige meet
tegniek waarin die Hall stroom gemeet en versterk word deur die transistor se voorwaartse
wins, β + 1. Die Hall effek verskyn as 'n stroom deur die emittor van die transistor.
Die grootste bydrae van hierdie navorsing lê in 'n nuwe metode om die Hall effek in 'n
vierkantige n-dam plaat wat in standaard CMOS tegnologie vervaardig is te meet sowel as
om die sein te versterk. Die navorsing oorbrug ook die gaping gevind in literatuur oor die
onderwerp van direkte teenoor indirekte Hall meet tegnieke. Die uitkoms van die
navorsing spreek ook die praktiese implementering van die meetmetode aan sowel as die effek wat die meetmetode op fundamentele ruisgrense en verskille in ruis tussen die
voorgestelde meetmetode en tradisionele meetmetodes het. Die toestel, hoewel nie gelei
het tot ‘n verbetering van die fundamentele geometriese faktor van die plaat wat oorheers
is deur die meetkunde van die plaat self, is wel funksioneel bewys, asook dat dit optree
volgens Hall effek teorie. Verder is daar gevind dat die wins wat selfs lae voorwaartse wins
bipolêre transistors bydra tot die sein, meer as die verlies wat die meetkundige faktor
veroorsaak op die Hall effek kan herwin. Dié meetmetode dra ook minder ruis by met
vergelyking tot tipiese tradisionele meetmetodes soos operasionele versterkers, wat vir
Hall spanning versterking gebruik word. Die voorgestelde meetmetode skep dus ‘n baie
eenvoudige meettegniek wat versoenbaar is met standaard CMOS tegnologie prosesse. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / lk2014 / Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering / PhD / unrestricted

Plasma instabilities in Hall thrusters2016 January 1900 (has links)
Plasmas involving strong electron drift in crossed electric and magnetic
fields are of great interest for a number of applications such as space
propulsion and material processing plasma sources. Specific applications include Hall thrusters, which are
high efficiency, low thrust propulsion systems used on many missions for satellite orbit corrections and for future planned
interplanetary missions, as well as magnetrons of various configurations used in plasma deposition devices. Similar conditions also exist in the E-layer of the ionosphere and on the Sun.
Despite many successful applications of Hall thrusters and other Hall plasma
sources, some aspects of their operation are still poorly understood. A
particularly important problem is the anomalous electron transport, which greatly exceeds
classical collisional values. Hall plasma devices exhibit numerous turbulent
fluctuations in a wide frequency range and it is believed that fluctuations resulting from plasma
instabilities are likely one of the main causes of the observed anomalous transport. Plasma turbulence also affects
many other important processes such as electron injection, location of the ionization region and wall erosion among others
that influence the operation and efficiency of Hall thrusters.
In Hall thrusters, the E0xB0 flow is made unstable due to gradients in the plasma density,
temperature and magnetic field. The gradient drift instabilities are long wavelength instabilities that propagate
in the azimuthal direction. A fluid theory of these unstable modes is proposed. It is shown that a full account of the compressibility of the
electron flow in inhomogeneous magnetic field leads to quantitative modifications of the previously obtained instability criteria and
characteristics of the unstable modes.
The ExB drift also drives ion sound type instabilities in Hall thrusters. The reactive/dissipative response
of the closure current to the thruster walls drives these negative energy modes. A model for this type of instabilities is proposed and
analyzed for typical Hall thruster conditions. It is shown how wall parameters modify the characteristic growth rate and frequency of the unstable modes and the related anomalous transport.
Nonlinear phenomena are important to understand different aspects of the Hall thruster plasma dynamics. A nonlinear fluid model for the
typical Hall thruster plasma is proposed. The model takes into account electron inertia, electron collisions with neutrals, density gradients as well as various nonlinear terms that arise from the electron drift and nonlinear polarization that were included via the gyroviscous cancellation. The proposed model includes the long wavelength and the low hybrid modes destabilized by density gradients and collisions. This system of fluid equations was implemented using the computational framework BOUT++ from which a set of nonlinear simulations of plasma turbulence was performed. It is shown from these first principles nonlinear simulations that small scale low hybrid oscillations result in an anomalous electron current significantly exceeding the classical collisional current.
