5.2.1 Electrical Characteristics

Figure 5.2 shows the electrical characteristics of the three-drain MAGFET with zero magnetic field. Although the drains are equally divided ($20\,\mu$m width each drain) and set to the same level voltage (1.0 V; source and substrate are set to 0.0 V), the total current is not equally shared by them. The central drain current is higher than the lateral drain currents of the three-drain MAGFET structure. The currents at Drain 1 and Drain 3 are equal, so it is expected that they should experience an imbalance when a magnetic field is applied.
