Abstract

Methods of forming p-type doped germanium-tin layers, systems for forming the p-type doped germanium-tin layers, and structures including the p-type doped germanium-tin layers are disclosed. The p-type doped germanium-tin layers include an n-type dopant, which allows relatively high levels of tin and/or p-type dopant to be included into the p-type doped germanium-tin layers.
