Ferromagnetic semiconductor structures such as superlattices or trilayers form a new class of magnetic systems composed entirely of semiconductor materials. The examples are Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As-AlGaAs with the ferromagnetic layer of GaMnAs semimagnetic (diluted magnetic) semiconductor or EuS-PbS with the ferromagnetic member (EuS) of the family of europium chalcogenides. We discuss the spectrum of perspective ferromagnetic semiconductor materials, the effect of size and stress on magnetic properties of ultrathin semiconductor ferromagnetic layers, and the effect of interlayer exchange in all-semiconductor systems.
