AKM Develops Hall Element
NOVI, MI — Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) has launched mass production and shipment of its next-generation InAs (indium arsenide) compound Hall element, the HQ0A11. Launched in November 2024,
HQ0A11 features AKM’s smallest and thinnest package size for an InAs-based Hall element. It achieves an 85% reduction in vol- ume compared to the previous model of HQ0811 in the high-sen- sitivity HQ series. It is expected that HQ0A11 will contribute to improved performance in smart- phone camera modules, small robots, and other applications. HQ0A11 is smaller and
thinner than the HQ0811, which was previously the smallest and thinnest high-sensitivity Hall element. It also has an approxi- mately 16% better S/N (signal- to-noise) ratio, which directly correlates to position detection accuracy, than HQ0811, which previously had the highest S/N performance in the HQ series. Hall elements are used to detect magnetic fields (magnetic
flux density). AKM started its Hall element business in 1974 with the development of sensors for automobile airbags. While advancing its development and manufacturing expertise to meet evolving market needs, AKM has shipped over 50 billion Hall sen- sors to date, including both Hall elements and Hall ICs. HQ0A11 achieves the high-
est S/N performance among AKM products for position detec- tion by leveraging the character- istics of InAs. Its position detec- tion accuracy is over 3.5 times higher than that of the HG0C11, a GaAs (gallium arsenide) Hall element which has been a main- stay product for camera modules. As such, HQ0A11 can signifi- cantly reduce the lens-shake effect that often occurs with smartphone cameras, especially with telephoto lenses. Contact: Asahi Kasei
