[0023] This disclosure provides a simple and easily fabricated spin logic device, a spin logic memory device, and a fabrication method. The switching between spin logic and memory functions can be achieved by non-volatilely controlling the opening and closing of the 2DEG (two-dimensional electron gas) conductive channels via gate voltage. As a spin logic device, multifunctional and reconfigurable logic gates can be realized by adjusting different configurations of ferroelectric polarization in the multiferroic layer.
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0025] In this embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a spin logic device is provided, comprising: an oxide layer (represented by Oxide in the figures); a multiferroic layer (represented by FE in the figures), located on the oxide layer and forming a two-dimensional electron gas (represented by 2DEG in the figures) as a transport layer between the oxide layer and the oxide layer, transmitting spin current in the form of a spin wave; a spin-orbit coupling layer (represented by Electrode in the figures), including a first spin-orbit coupling unit (left side) and a second spin-orbit coupling unit (right side), wherein the first spin-orbit coupling unit and the second spin-orbit coupling unit are not connected to each other and are symmetrically distributed on the multiferroic layer; a top electrode, including a first top electrode (E1) connected to the first spin-orbit coupling unit and a second top electrode (E2) connected to the second spin-orbit coupling unit; and a bottom electrode, including a first bottom electrode (E1') and a second bottom electrode (E2') connected to both sides of the oxide layer.
[0026] As can be seen, the multiferroic layer is formed on the side of the oxide layer away from the substrate, and is configured to form a two-dimensional electron gas at the interface with the oxide, serving as a transport layer to transmit spin current in the form of a spin wave. The two spin-orbit coupling layers are formed on the side of the multiferroic layer away from the oxide layer, and are not connected to each other. They are configured to respectively control the polarization direction of the multiferroic layer region below them and inject spin current into the multiferroic layer. During initialization, voltages are applied between the first top electrode and the first bottom electrode on the left, and between the second top electrode and the second bottom electrode on the right, respectively, flipping the local multiferroic layer under the left top electrode and the local multiferroic layer under the right top electrode to different ferroelectric polarization configurations. As shown in Figure 1, when the ferroelectric polarization directions of the multiferroic layers on the left and right sides are the same (as shown by the arrows representing polarization directions pointing upwards in Figure 1), OR and XNOR logic can be implemented. When the logic input is mapped to the presence or absence of the input current, and the logic output is mapped to the total loop current I... Total =(I Out1 +I Out2 When ), just input any (I) in1 I in2 If the value is not zero, the output current I Total Set to 1 to implement a logic OR gate. This maps the logic input to either positive or negative input, while the logic output maps to the total loop current (I0). Out1 +I Out2 When the two inputs are reversed (10 or 01), I Out1 I Out2 When the amplitudes are equal but the directions are opposite, the total current in the circuit (I) is... Out1 +I Out2 The value is 0. I only registers 0 when the input is in the same direction (11 or 00). Out1 I Out2 When the amplitudes are equal and the directions are the same, the total current in the loop (I) is... Out1 +I Out2 A value of 1 corresponds to a logic XOR gate. As shown in Figure 2, when the polarization directions of the multi-iron layer ferroelectrics corresponding to the top and bottom electrodes on the left and right sides are opposite, XOR logic can be implemented. When the logic input is mapped to the presence or absence of the input, and the logic output is mapped to the total loop current (I0), the logic logic can be implemented. Out1 +I Out2 When the two inputs are in the same direction (11 or 00), I Out1 I Out2 When the amplitudes are equal but the directions are opposite, the total current in the circuit (I) is... Out1 +I Out2 The value is 0. I is only 0 when the two input directions are opposite (10 or 01). Out1 I Out2 With equal amplitude and the same direction, the total loop current (I) Out1 +I Out2 The value is 1, which implements the logical XOR gate operation.
[0027] Figure 3 illustrates the physical mechanism of the spin logic device described in this disclosure. Intrinsically, a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with a strong Rashba effect forms at the interface between the multiferroic layer and the oxide layer. Due to the Rashba effect, the spin bands in the 2DEG are split, and spin and momentum are locked together. The polarity of the Rashba effect is determined by the polarity of the interface electric field (E). When the input current J... in Flowing along the x-direction through the SOC layer, due to the strong spin-orbit coupling effect of the SOC layer, a spin current polarized along the y-direction (J) is generated. S Spin current is injected into the multiferroic layer along the z-direction and transported within the multiferroic layer in the form of magnons (J). M When a non-equilibrium spin current is injected into a 2DEG, the Fermi surface in k-space is translated by Δk along the kx direction. Due to this translation of the Fermi surface, an output current (J) is generated along the x-direction. out This generates the Inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect. Since the polarity of the Rashba effect is determined by the interface electric field, changing the direction of the interface electric field will reverse the direction of the output current. Therefore, when the ferropolarization (P) direction of the multiferroic layer is reversed, the direction of the interface electric field will change, and the corresponding output current under the same input will also reverse.
[0028] According to another embodiment of this disclosure, as shown in FIG4, a method for fabricating the above-described spin logic device is provided, comprising operations S1-S9:

The multiferroic layer is formed on the side of the SOCs away from the substrate, acting as a transport layer to transmit the spin current in the form of a spin wave. The oxide layer is formed on the side of the multiferroic layer away from the SOCs, forming a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the interface with the multiferroic layer. The gate dielectric layer is formed on the side of the oxide layer away from the multiferroic layer, located between the two SOCs in the region perpendicularly projected onto the plane. By applying a gate voltage V to the gate dielectric layer... G It allows for non-volatile control of the 2DEG conductive channels at the interface. Initially, the channels are open, and the spin logic memory device implements the reconfigurable logic function of the spin logic device as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (as shown on the left side of Figure 5). After applying a gate voltage, the 2DEG below the gate is depleted, the channels are turned off, and the heterojunctions on the left and right sides of the gate are independently controlled and read. At this time, the spin logic memory device implements the function of a binary storage cell (as shown on the left side of Figure 5).
