Abstract
We report hole-induced ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn0.99Mn0.01films grown on SiO2/Sisubstrates by reactive sputtering. The p-type conduction with hole concentration over 1018cm-3   is achieved by P doping followed by rapid thermal annealing at 800℃ in a N2atmosphere. The p-type  Zn0.99Mn0.01O:P is carefully examined by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The magnetic measurements for p-Zn0.99Mn0.01O:P clearly reveal ferromagnetic characteristics with a Curie temperature above room temperature, whereas those for n-Zn0.99Mn0.01O:P show paramagnetic behavior. The anomalous Hall effect at room temperature is observed for the p-type film. This result strongly supports hole-induced room temperature ferromagnetism in p-Zn0.99Mn0.01O:P .
