electronic component, the manufacturing process and use of graphene in an electronic component

The electronic component (2) comprises at least two superposed conductive or semiconductor layers (4;10,12;14,16). According to one aspect of the invention, the component comprises at least one graphene layer (8) interposed between the conductive or semiconductor layers (4;10,12;14,16), the conductive or semiconductor layers (4;10,12;14,16) being electronically coupled through the thickness of the or each graphene layer (8). Applications especially include magnetic tunnel junctions or spin valves, memristors, etc.
