Dilute magnetic semiconductor GaN with a Curie temperature above room temperature has been achieved by manganese doping. By varying the growth and annealing conditions of Mn-doped GaN we have identified Curie temperatures in the range of 228–370 K. These Mn-doped GaN films have ferromagnetic behavior with hysteresis curves showing a coercivity of 100–500 Oe. Structure characterization by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the ferromagnetic properties are not a result of secondary magnetic phases.
