Tunnel barrier fabrication on Si and its impact on a spin transistor
نویسنده
چکیده
The realization of many future spintronic devices requires efficient spin injection into semiconductor structures. Critical considerations include interfacial intermixing of the metallic components and oxygen with Si, and the conditions for Schottky barrier formation. Both impact the design of a silicon-based spin transistor, which tunnelinjects carriers from a ferromagnetic emitter into the Si base and then tunnel-collects them via a ferromagnetic collector. A discussion of the characteristics of this spin tunnel transistor will be presented, including its behavior and magnetic sensitivity. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Size Dependence of the Magnetic and Electrical Properties of the Spin-Valve Transistor
The electrical and magnetic properties of the spin-valve transistor (SVT) are investigated as a function of transistor size. A new fabrication process, designed to study the size dependence of the SVT properties, uses: silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers, a combination of ion beam and wet etching and a negative tone photoresist (SU8) as an insulating layer. The Si/Pt emitter and Si/Au collector S...
متن کاملSilicon spin diffusion transistor: materials, physics and device characteristics
The realisation that everyday electronics has ignored the spin of the carrier in favour of its charge is the foundation of the field of spintronics. Starting with simple two-terminal devices based on giant magnetoresistance and tunnel magnetoresistance, the technology has advanced to consider three-terminal devices that aim to combine spin sensitivity with a high current gain and a large curren...

In this paper, spin-dependent electrical transport properties are investigated in a single-crystal magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) which consists of two ferromagnetic Fe electrodes separated by an MgO insulating barrier. These properties contain electric current, spin polarization and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). For this purpose, spin-dependent Hamiltonian is described for Δ1 and Δ5 bands in...
