Abstract
The possibility of creating room-temperature intrinsic ferromagnetism in a highly doped oxide semiconductor has been investigated. The results indicate that such state of a ferromagnetic semiconductor can be achieved by magnetron sputtering deposition of a semiconductor oxide doped with a transition metal followed by low-temperature vacuum annealing.
