Recent experimental and theoretical studies have shown that nonmagnetic semiconductor-metal hybrid (SMH) structures can exhibit a very large geometrical magnetoresistance response. We report the realization of silicon-based SMH structures where the metal is replaced by metallic silicide, and we identify key process and material requirements. The devices exhibit larger magnetoresistance responses than homogeneous silicon systems, and a finite element model correctly predicts these responses. In particular, it is experimentally verified that the response is further increased by alternating the current leads/voltage probes. Such scalable systems may be used to study the geometrical magnetoresistance in generic SMH structures as carrier transport moves from the diffusive to the ballistic regime.
