Abstract
For Andreev spectroscopy to be a useful tool to detect spin accumulation in semiconductors, we show by simulation that there is a maximum value for the interface scattering parameter that can be tolerated. Three different fabrication routes for Pb/InAs planar junctions are explored and we find that the "etch-back" processing strategy is the most promising. Using the parameters extracted from the spectroscopic analysis, we find that the interface properties fall into four different regimes of behavior.
