HAND
Hall effect amplifier


HAND (Hall Amplifier Nanoscale Device) is a nanoscale component for very high frequency (tens of THz) electronic circuits. Following the physics of the Hall effect, the device receives a current as an input and creates a voltage as an output, which means it possesses a low input impedance and a high output impedance. While most other nanoscale devices based on the Hall effect are sensors, HAND operates as both an amplifier and a modulator. ALEO has simulated and developed analytical models of HAND’s behavior in areas such as heat transfer and the feasibility of high magnetic fields inside integrated circuits. This new device, which combines the classic Hall effect with nanoscale dimensions, is a potential game-changer for the world of high-speed electronics.
