Requirements of the injection and detection of spin current in a semiconductor are crucial for semiconductor spintronic devices. By reviewing the potentials and the recent success and understanding, we demonstrate the techniques for the injection and detection of spin current in a semiconductor. However, as a particular emphasis is given for the electrical detection, the spin-dependent Hall effects are discussed in more details. The major obstacles and challenges in the development of such devices are also pointed out.Requirements of the injection and detection of spin current in a semiconductor are crucial for semiconductor spintronic devices.
