研究目的
To demonstrate pure spin-current injection and transport in the perpendicular current flow geometry over a distance larger than 2μm in n-type Si at room temperature using metal-semiconductor-metal CoFeB/MgO/Si/Pt vertical structures fabricated by ultra-high vacuum wafer-bonding technique.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates efficient spin-current injection and transport at room temperature in CoFeB/MgO/Si/Pt vertical devices, highlighting the significant role of localized states at the MgO/Si interface in spin-current generation. The spin-diffusion length in n-Si is determined to be 2.0±0.3μm at room temperature, indicating the potential for semiconductor spintronics applications.
研究不足
The study is limited by the difficulty in growing high quality semiconductors on ferromagnetic metals, which restricts the investigation to lateral geometry devices without the use of wafer-bonding technique. Additionally, the role of localized states at the MgO/Si interface and their impact on spin-current generation requires further theoretical and experimental exploration.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs spin pumping (SP) and inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) measurements to demonstrate spin-current injection and transport in CoFeB/MgO/Si/Pt vertical structures.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples with varying Si and MgO thicknesses were prepared using ultra-high vacuum wafer-bonding technique.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) for interfacial structure observation, ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) for spin-pumping excitation, and electromotive force (EMF) measurements for ISHE detection.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
FMR and EMF voltage measurements were performed at room temperature with samples set on coplanar wave guide (CPW). The EMF signal was acquired on the top Pt layer to evaluate spin transport through Si.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The EMF spectrum was decomposed into symmetric and antisymmetric components to analyze the spin-current generation and propagation.
