A magneto-resistance transistor including a magneto-resistant element which may function as an emitter and a passive element which may function as a collector. The base may be interposed between the passive element and the magneto-resistant element, thereby coupling the passive element with the magneto-resistant element. A magnetic field of a given strength may be applied to at least a portion of the magneto-resistant transistor, the given strength determining a resistance in the at least a portion of the magneto-resistant transistor. Thus, by adjusting the given strength of the magnetic field, the resistance may be adjusted. Therefore, different emitter current inputs may be achieved with a fixed voltage. Further, a base current may vary with a controlled variation of the emitter current input.

Magneto-resistance transistor and method thereof

A spin transistor and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The method includes defining a required area on a substrate by lithography; forming a doping area by ion-implantation, and forming a magnetoresistive film on the substrate. Finally, the method produces a spin transistor with the emitter, the base, and the collector in the same plane surface. The manufacturing method integrates the emitter, the base, and the collector into one plane, so that miniaturization of the spin transistor is achieved, and it is advantageous for the integration and subsequent packaging of the spin transistor and integrated circuit elements.

Spin transistor and manufacturing method thereof

A spin transistor uses a single potential barrier structure to increase a current fluctuation rate. The spin transistor may include at least one of an emitter, a collector, a base and a base resistor. The emitter may be a magneto-resistant device, which may provide an adjustable resistance based on a magnetic field. The collector may be a passive device which may provide the single potential barrier. The base may placed between the emitter and the collector, and may couple the emitter with the collector. The base resistor may be connected to the base in order to provide a bias.
