An Analytical Theory of Piezoresistive Effects in Hall Plates with Large Contacts

Figure 17

Wheatstone bridge with two perpendicular mirror-symmetry axes and comprises four resistor stripes. It can be used for the measurement of on a chip made of (100)-silicon. The device is supplied with electrical power at the contacts . The output signal is tapped between . Note the similarity of the Wheatstone bridge with the inverted Greek cross of Figure 16 when the inner square of the bridge arrangement is filled with resistive material.
