Femtosecond laser pulses are used to demonstrate the direct writing of ferromagnetism in hydrogenated [Ga.sub.0.96][Mn.sub.0.04]As. Interruption of the laser beam during writing which leads to the formation of a paramagnetic gap with controllable conductance separating two ferromagnetic line segments along with the laser tunability of magnetic and electrical properties in the activated regions represent a planar approach to defining all-semiconductor spintronic structures for device applications.
