Doping

Generally, doping is the process of adding impurities to pure semiconductors in order to change its electrical properties. Doping in organic conductor can be chemical or electrical. There is also magnetic doping that can effect some properties like specific heat by adding small amount of impurities.

  2. Boron, arsenic, phosphorus, antimony, are commonly used dopant in semiconductor industries and sometiem doping si also know as activation.
    Dopants for silicon and germanium, group IV semiconductors:
    Donors: group V atoms: antimony, phosphorus, arsenic
    Acceptors: group III atoms: boron, aluminium, gallium
    Dopants for gallium arsenide, a group III-V semiconductor:
    Donors: group VI and group IV atoms: sulfur, selenium, tellurium, silicon, germanium.
    Acceptors: group II and group IV atoms: magnesium, zinc, cadmium, silicon, germanium
