Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ferromagnetic semiconductors with two criteria such as room-temperature ferromagnetism and process compatibility with current semiconductor technology have been required for realizing spintronics devices. In order to realize the InP-based spin spintronic devices, we demonstrated the fabrication of the magnetic quantum nanostructures consisting of Al0.48In0.52As and ZnSnAs2:Mn, together with Al0.48In0.52As/ZnSnAs2 and Ga0.47In0.53As/ZnSnAs2 structures. These materials are lattice-matched to InP substrates. Atomic-scale Mn distributions in ferromagnetic ZnSnAs2:Mn thin films grown on InP substrates have been studied by applying three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) microscopy. It is found that Mn atoms in cross-sectional 3DAP maps show the presence of inhomogeneities in Mn distribution. The high Mn concentration regions are expected to be coherently clustered MnAs in the zinc-blende structure, resulting in the formation of Mn-As random connecting patterns.
