Part 8/10:
Despite the promising future of spintronics, several challenges remain. Issues surrounding manufacturing reliability, particularly in producing materials just a few atoms thick, could impede the commercial rollout of spintronic devices. Moreover, ensuring consistent control over spin states at scale is pivotal, and researchers are exploring various techniques, including laser manipulation.
Existing commercial applications of magnetoresistive memory demonstrate the technology’s viability, with companies like Everspin producing devices at scale. The integration into mainstream semiconductor manufacturing processes poses a substantial challenge, emphasizing the need for further research.
