ECS Intranet:
Schottky barriers for spin injection

Projects

Other EPSRC Funded Projects

Electrodeposition is being used to fabricate magnetic microstructures directly on patterned n-type Si wafers of various substrate resistivities. The Ni-Si Schottky barrier is characterized and found to be of very high quality for relatively low Si resistivities (1-2 Ohmcm with leakage currents order of magnitudes lowe than for sputtered barriers. This shows that electrodeposition of magnetic materials on Si is a viable fabrication technique for magnetoresistance and spintronics applications. This technique will be used to investigate spin injection into Si and to fabricate spin transistors
