We focus on the development of transparent semiconductor spintronics devices. Our work is motivated by the observation of s-d exchange inducted spin polarization in magnetic ZnO:(Co, Mn) thin films below 50 K and related magnetoresistance effect [1]. Our aim is to control the conductance in ZnO Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MESFET) with magnetic channel by external electrical AND magnetic fields. The magnetic ZnO:(Co, Mn) channel layers have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition on c-plane sapphire substrates. Gate, source, and drain contacts have been structured by optical lithography. The gate contact has been fabricated by reactive sputtering of Ag/Au [2]. Source and drain contacts have been fabricated from high conducting transparent ZnO. The characteristics of the ZnO-based MESFETs with magnetic channel in external perpendicular magnetic fields ranged from -1.8T to +1.8T are presented.
