A SPINTRONIC DEVICE HAVING A CARBON NANOTUBE ARRAY-BASED SPACER LAYER AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME

摘要

This invention relates to spintronic devices-and electronic devices comprising them, such as spin valves, spin tunnel junctions and spin transistors-which utilize a layer comprised of an array of aligned carbon nanontubes. A spintronic device includes, a bottom electrode, a first ferromagnetic layer, a CNT array, a second ferromagnetic layer and a top electrode.
