A collector arrangement for a magnetotransistor (10, 25, 30) and a method for making the magnetotransistor (10, 25, 30). A portion of a semiconductor substrate (11) is doped to form a base region (13). The base region is doped to form an emitter region (16, 26, 36) and a collector region (17, 27, 37) such that the collector region (17, 27, 37) surrounds and is spaced apart from the emitter region (16, 26, 36). Collector contacts (C1-C8 and C5'-C8', C13-C16) are symmetrically formed in the collector region (17, 27, 37). In a three-dimensional magnetotransistor (10, 25) the collector contacts include split-collector contacts (C5-C8 and C5'-C8').
