Outline
• Spintronics basics• The giant magneto resistance• Applications of GMR• Spin devices• Injections & detection of spin• The MRAM • Recent trends

What is Spintronics?• Utilizes the bizarre
property of spin of electron.
• Intrinsic angular momentum is spin.
• Two arbitrary orientations, and its magnitudes are ± ħ / 2 (ħ is Plank constant).
• Directional and coherent motion of electron spin circulates a spin current, which will carry or transport information and control quantum spin in an spintronic device.

Why Spintronics?
• Moore’s Law:No. of Transistor doubles in every 18 months.
• Complexity:Complex Chip Design & Power Loss.
• Motivation: Spintronics-Information is carried not by electron
charge but by it’s spin.

Combining the best of both worlds
Ferro magnets• Stable Memory• Fast switching• High ordering temp• Spin transport
• Technological base(magnetic recordings)
Semiconductors• Bandgap engineering• Carrier density &
type• Electrical gating• Long spin lifetime
• Technological base (Electronics)
Can we develop spin based transistors , switches and logic circuits?
How to create control propagate spin information in semiconductor structures?

The Giant Magneto Resistance
• A Nano scale phenomena .• Giant refers to giant change in resistance due to
current.• It is a quantum mechanical magneto resistance
effect observed in thin-film structures composed of alternating ferromagnetic and non-magnetic layers.

Magnetic tunneling junction
• Like GMR but better.• More sensitive• Multilayer junction
filter • Quantum mechanical
principle• Tunneling effect • 2 layers of magnetic
metal, separated by an ultrathin layer of insulator, about 1 nm.

MRAMMagneto resistive RAM
Reading process• Measurement of the
bit cell resistance by applying a current in the ‘bit line’
• Comparison with a reference value mid-way between the bit high and low resistance values
![Page 18: Spintronics ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54bd2cfd4a7959433a8b45a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MRAMMagneto resistive RAM
Writing process• Currents applied in
both lines : 2 magnetic fields
• Both fields are necessary to reverse the free layer magnetization
• When currents are removed : Same configuration

MRAMMagneto resistive RAM
Array structure of MRAM• Reading: transistor of
the selected bit cell turned ‘on’ + current applied in the bit line
• Writing: transistor of the selected bit cell turned ‘off’ + currents applied in the bit and word lines
• Need of 2 magnetic fields for writing

Advantages of Spintronics
Low power consumption.
Less heat dissipation.
Spintronic memory is non-volatile.
Takes up lesser space on chip, thus more compact.
Spin manipulation is faster , so greater read & write speed.
Spintronics does not require unique and specialized semiconductors.
Common metals such as Fe, Al, Ag , etc. can be used.

Conclusion• Spin property of electrons are yet to mastered.• Researcher and scientist are taking keen interest. • Universities and electronic industries
collaborating .• Span of last two decade major milestones. • It holds vast opportunities for physics , material
& device engineering & technology• Last year PTB, Germany, have achieved a
(2GBit/s) write cycle• Potential of the field is colossal and continuous development is required.
