p-Type 6H-SiC substrates were implanted with Mn ϩ or Fe ϩ at doses of 3-5 ϫ 10 16 cm Ϫ2 under conditions that avoided amorphization ͑substrate temperature ϳ350°C͒. After annealing at 700°C, the magnetic properties of the samples were examined by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. Both the Fe-and Mn-implanted samples showed ferromagnetic properties up to approximately 250 K for the highest doses employed. The origin of the ferromagnetism is not the formation of secondary phases involving precipitation of Fe or Mn.
