Abstract
A low temperature process for forming a metal doped silicon layer in which a silicon layer is deposited onto a substrate at low temperatures, with a metal doping layer then deposited upon the silicon layer is described. This structure is then annealed at low temperatures to form a metal doped semiconductor having greater than about 1x10^20 dopant atoms per cm3 of silicon.
