The single-drain MOS transistor is qualified as a magnetic sensor. To create the Lorentz force, a DC loop current is applied through an on-chip metal loop around the device, and the relation between the applied loop current and the created magnetic field is assumed to be linear in nature. The drain current of the MOS transistor is reduced with the applied Lorentz force from both directions. This change in the drain current is ascribed to a change in mobility in the strong inversion region, and a change in mobility of around 4.45% is observed. To model this change, a set of novel drain current equations, under the Lorentz force, for the strong inversion region has been proposed. A satisfactory agreement of an average error of less than 2% between the measured and the calculated drain currents under the magnetic field created by an on-chip metal loop is achieved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17061199","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,24]],"date-time":"2017-05-24T07:29:42Z","timestamp":1495610982000},"page":"1199","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Simple Drain Current Model for MOS Transistors with the Lorentz Force Effect"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Hwang-Cherng","family":"Chow","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Electronic Engineering, Chang Gung University, 259 Wenhwa 1st Road, Kweishan, Taoyuan 333, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Prasenjit","family":"Chatterjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Electronic Engineering, Chang Gung University, 259 Wenhwa 1st Road, Kweishan, Taoyuan 333, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Wu-Shiung","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Electronic Engineering, Chang Gung University, 259 Wenhwa 1st Road, Kweishan, Taoyuan 333, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"631","DOI":"10.1109\/JSEN.2006.874493","article-title":"Magnetic sensors and their applications","volume":"6","author":"Lenz","year":"2006","journal-title":"IEEE Sens.
