Combining the so-called defect induced magnetism (DIM) phenomenon --- inducing magnetic order in nominally non-magnetic materials through defects --- with acceptor/donor doping in semiconducting materials opens a whole new degree of engineering freedom to design spintronic devices. The DIM phenomenon is known to exist in a variety of materials such as different oxides, nitrides and carbon based materials. We demonstrate the versatility of this framework by showing its application in an all-semiconductor spin-filter device, prepared at the surface of a ZnO microwire by low energy ion implantation. This device is based on a spin-blockade effect that arises at the interface between highly doped magnetic and lightly doped non-magnetic regions at the surface of the wire. The device can be tuned to operate in a large range of temperatures and shows strong spin filtering.
