Popis: A novel measurement device for simultaneous high temperature measurements of the electrical conductivity and the Hall coefficient has been developed. Simulations were used to design a suitable screen-printed planar platinum heating structure that generates temperatures of up to 600 ∘C by Joule heating. Simulations of the temperature distribution have been validated using thermal imaging. With the hardware setup of two permanent magnetic yoke systems with a magnetic flux density of ±760 mT, the electrical conductivity and the charge carrier densities of a silicon wafer and a gold film were measured, as examples of a typical semiconductor with low charge carrier densities but high mobility and a metal representing materials with very high charge carrier densities but moderate mobilities, respectively. Measurements were compared with data from the literature to validate the functionality of the novel, low-cost measurement device.
