Resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) with magnetic materials are promising spin-transport devices, since their spin-dependent filter effect makes it possible to manipulate and detect the spins of electrons. To realize such a device in ZnMnSe is itself generally quite arduous. We have however developed a technique using a proper buffer stack to not only reliably fabricate them, but also to produce different variations of the layout, as for example RTDs with a magnetic injector, double RTDs or RTDs with a double quantum-well. Structured devices at the micron and sub-micron scale allow us to further analyze them and enhance their usability. Our structures confirm the spin-polarization of the current and gated RTDs are good candidates for transistor effects and studies of vertical quantum dots.
