Abstract
A method of depositing metal on an exposed surface of a p-type semiconductor region of a semiconductor device comprising a p-n junction is disclosed, the method comprising: immersing the exposed surface of the p-type semiconductor region on which the metal is to be deposited in a solution of metal ions; producing an electric field in the semiconductor device such that the p-n junction is forward biased; electrochemically depositing the metal on the exposed surface of the p-type semiconductor region of the semiconductor device by reduction of metal ions in the solution.
