The spintronic logic devices market is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR over the forecast period.
Spintronic logic devices are referred to as spin-electronic devices. It consists of magnetic layers that act as separation layers for spin polarizers or analyzers from non-magnetic layers through which spin-polarized electrons are transmitted. It helps in manipulating the magnetization of nanostructures through spin-polarized current.
The spintronic logic devices market leverages electron spin for advanced computing and memory solutions. Some of the widely used spintronic logic devices are hard disk drives and magnetic random-access memory (MRAM). With the help of the spintronic technique, a new write scheme is introduced for MRAM, which gives improved scalability of the devices towards the 22 nm node. MRAM, including spin-transfer torque (STT-MRAM) and spin-orbit torque (SOT-MRAM), utilizes magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) for non-volatile, high-speed storage. Racetrack memory employs skyrmions and domain walls for ultra-dense data storage. Spin-field-effect transistors (spin-FETs) enable low-power logic operations, while spin-wave logic and magnonics harness spin waves for energy-efficient data processing. Topological spintronics, exploiting skyrmions’ stability, promises robust, scalable devices, driving innovation in high-performance, low-power electronics for next-generation applications.
Spintronic devices are widely used in mass-storage devices. This technique is used to adjust large amounts of data into a small space. Spintronic devices also find their application in the medical field for detecting cancer.
The spintronic logic devices market is advancing through enhanced spin manipulation techniques. Spin injection and detection improve efficiency in spin current generation, critical for low-power devices. Spin-orbit coupling enables spin-orbit torque mechanisms, enhancing switching speeds in SOT-MRAM. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) ensures thermal stability and scalability in MTJs, supporting high-density memory. Innovations in spin current control and PMA materials drive progress in neuromorphic computing and in-memory processing, addressing demands for energy-efficient, high-performance systems in AI and IoT applications.
Increasing consumer demand for faster and more energy-efficient devices is propelling the growth of the spintronic logic devices market. The spintronic logic technique not only reduces the power consumption of the devices but also reduces their size, which the devices easier to use.
Energy efficiency is presently receiving considerable worldwide emphasis from policymakers, who see its importance in improving energy security and affordability, as well as speeding up renewable energy transitions. This comes as the predicted 2023 rate of development in energy intensity - the primary parameter used to assess the world economy's energy efficiency - is expected to fall back to 1.3%, down from a higher 2% last year.
Among various products, one of the products is Synopsys OptSim, which allows its users to design and simulate current optical communication systems at the signal propagation level. It helps accelerate user-modeling capabilities and also provides real scenarios with the help of extensive industry specifications. It is widely used in optical component manufacturers, service providers, government labs, and academic institutions.
Spintronics is considered to be among the most promising future technologies. Spintronics technology makes use of spinning electrons along with their charge. AI, big data, and information and communication technology (ICT) memory domains are among the major sectors that make use of spintronic devices.
Spintronics technology is used in semiconductors to work for spin dynamics with the help of non-magnetic materials and provides probabilities in metal systems. This process helped to develop MRAM technology that is based on magnetic semiconductors.
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced that worldwide semiconductor sector sales were $47.6 billion in January 2024, up 15.2% from $41.3 billion in January 2023 but down 2.1% from $48.7 billion in December 2023.
Year-over-year sales of semiconductors with China accounting for 26.6% of the total sales, followed by America with 20.3%, and the Asia Pacific with others accounting for 12.8%, while Japan and Europe witnessed a decrease in sales of -6.4 % and -1.4% respectively.
Growing research and development in the semiconductor industry to make semiconductors more powerful, efficient, reliable, and compact has led semiconductor manufacturers to use the spintronic technique, which has not increased the usage of spintronic logic devices but has helped in expanding its market.
Increasing research and development have led to the introduction of new technologies in the market that have not only disrupted the spintronic logic devices market but also emerged as a better alternative to the spintronic technique. CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) and Magnonics are among a few of the technologies that have increased the competition and also hampered the spintronic logic devices market.
The spintronic logic devices market is segmented based on different devices into metal-based devices and semiconductor-based devices. In Metal-based spintronics, electron spin in metallic materials is manipulated, and this manipulation of the electron spin is referred to as giant magnetoresistance.
It comprises two types of devices: GMR devices and Spin-Transfer Torque. GMR devices have alternate layers of ferromagnetic and non-magnetic metals, and when the external magnetic field is applied to IT, then the relative orientation in ferromagnetic layers gets changed. While in STT spin of electrons gets transferred to magnetic moments, which further leads to changes in the orientation of the material.
Semiconductor-based spintronic devices make use of semiconducting materials like silicon or organic semiconductors to manipulate the spin of electrons. It offers a combination of electronic logic with spin-based functionalities.
North America's market dominance in spintronic logic devices is due to leading technological corporations, university research organizations, and favourable regulatory frameworks.
Collaborations among industrial actors, research organizations, and government bodies promote the growth and development of spintronics-related technology.
The United States and Canada are prominent players in the semiconductor and electronics sectors, with well-known research universities in spintronics, advanced materials, and nanotechnology, respectively, playing critical roles in spintronic device development.
