Abstract
A microwave glow discharge method for the deposition of p-doped semiconductor alloy material, which material is characterized by mono-atomic and tetrahedral incorporation of boron species into the semiconductor host matrix, thereby providing a p-doped semiconductor alloy material characterized by reduced bulk strain, reduced nucleation of undesirable morphological growth, improved adhesion to a substrate and reduced peeling and cracking.
