New spintronics manufacturing process could become new industry standard for semiconductors chips
University of Minnesota researchers, along with a team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), recently developed a novel process for making spintronic devices that may have the potential to become the new industry standard for semiconductors chips that are essential to computers, smartphones and many other electronics. The new process will allow for faster, more efficient spintronics devices that can be scaled down smaller than ever before.
“We believe we’ve found a material and a device that will allow the semiconducting industry to move forward with more opportunities in spintronics that weren’t there before for memory and computing applications,” said Jian-Ping Wang, senior author of the paper and professor in the College of Science and Engineering.
