The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) [1] was studied on ultra-thin Co/Pd multilayers, which might be a promising material for AHE based perpendicular magnetic recording technology [2]. The Co/Pd multilayers were grown on Si wafers by using conventional dc magnetron sputtering techniques. We focused on the Co thickness and temperature dependence of the AHE and the longitudinal resistivity, whereas the Pd thickness was kept constant at 1.8nm. The Co thickness was incrementally increased from 0.20nm to 0.55 nm. The AHE measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 14-330 K.Uniquely, we have observed that for a fixed temperature the polarity of the AHE changes at a certain Co thickness, the critical Co thickness decreases with increasing temperature. This behavior will be discussed with respect to the influence of extrinsic skew scattering [3]. [1] E. H. Hall, Philos. Mag. 10, 301 (1880) [2] D. Rosenblatt, M. Karpovski, and A. Gerber, Appl. Phys.
