description

Despite the high potentiality of SAMs for spintronics, not many results exist at the moment in the literature. This lack of results is mainly due to the difficulty to fabricate the devices. The two main technological problems consist in the ferromagnetic electrodes compatibility issues with wet chemistry and the short-circuit formation during top electrode deposition. A part of this thesis has been committed to overcome these technological problems. This chapter will explain the steps that led us to the development of SAMs-based magnetic tunnel nanojunctions.
