Hall Effect Measurement System

DX-1000H High Temperature Hall Measurement Setup

High temperature Hall measurement setup for characterising carrier transport properties of semiconductor materials under controlled magnetic field and temperature up to elevated temperatures.

The DX-1000H high temperature Hall measurement setup integrates a precision electromagnet, bipolar constant current power supply, high-resolution voltage acquisition and a high-temperature vacuum chamber. Together with a dedicated Hall sample fixture, the system enables measurement of carrier concentration, Hall mobility, resistivity and Hall coefficient over a broad temperature range.

Automated control software coordinates the electromagnet supply, gauss meter, temperature controller and current source to perform fully automated Hall measurements. Bulk and sheet carrier concentration, mobility, resistivity, Hall coefficient and magnetoresistance can be evaluated as functions of temperature and magnetic field, providing a comprehensive picture of high-temperature transport behaviour.
