[FeNi(3~nm)/Zn1- xCoxO(3~nm)]2/ZnO(d nm)/[Zn1-xCoxO(3 nm)/Co(3 nm)]2 (d=3 and 10) semiconductor junctions were prepared by magnetron sputtering system and photolithography. The spin valve effect was observed in these junctions because the utility of the ferromagnetic composite layers acted as soft and hard magnetic layers. The electrical detection was performed by measuring the magnetoresistance of these junctions to investigate the current spin polarization αsc in the ZnO layer and the spin injection efficiency η of spin-polarized electrons. αsc was reduced from 11.7% (and 10.5%) at 90 K to 7.31 % (and 5.93 %) at room temperature for d=3 (and d=10). And η was reduced from 39.5 % (and 35.5 %) at 90 K to 24.7 % (and
20.0 %) at room temperature for d=3 (and d=10).

2×(FeNi/CoZnO)/ZnO/(CoZnO/Co) ×2 spin-injection devices were prepared by sputtering and photo-lithography. In the devices, two composite magnetic layers 2×(FeNi/CoZnO) and (CoZnO/Co) ×2 with different coercivities were used to fabricate the ZnO-based semiconductor spin valve. Since the CoZnO ferromagnetic semiconductor layers touched the ZnO space layer directly, the significant spin injection from CoZnO into ZnO was observed by measuring the magnetoresistance of the spin-injection devices. The magnetoresistance reduced linearly with increasing temperature, from 1.12% at 90 K to 0.35% at room temperature.
