Lithographic techniques for fabrication of spin injection and detection devices exploiting ferromagnetic semiconducting Gadolinium Nitride
Tane Butler
Abstract:<p><b>This thesis will present a variety of methods for fabricating spin-injection and detection device based on the rare-earth nitrides as ferromagnetic electrodes and copper as a spin diffusion channel on Si/SiO2substrates. The fabrication of a spin injection device is shown using photolithographic methods in tandem with; Photomask based patterning, Ar-assisted ion milling, Direct laser writing, and Electron beam lithography. This is the first ever work that has used electron beam lith… Show more
