doped
(adjective)
describing a semiconductor that has had small amounts of elements added to create charge carriers
Examples of doped in the following topics:
-
Semiconductors
- While insulating materials may be doped to become semiconductors, intrinsic semiconductors can also be doped, resulting in an extrinsic semiconductor.
- Lightly and moderately doped semiconductors are referred to as extrinsic.
- Doping atom usually have one more valence electron than one type of the host atoms.
- The purpose of p-type doping is to create an abundance of holes.
- After the material has been doped with phosphorus, an extra electron is present.
-
Doping: Connectivity of Semiconductors
- The process of adding substances to a pure semiconductor for the purposes of modulating its electrical properties is known as doping.
- Semiconductors are doped to generate either a surplus or a deficiency in valence electrons.
- Doping provides a way to modulate the properties of semiconductors that have broad applications in daily life.
- Doping a pure silicon semiconductor with the group V dopant arsenic creates a surplus of conductive electrons.
- Examine the methodĀ of doping a pure semiconductor in order to increase its electrical conductivity.
-
Trihalides: Boron-Halogen Compounds
- The electronics industry uses boron tribromide as a boron source in pre-deposition processes for doping in the manufacture of semiconductors.
-
Titanium, Chromium, and Manganese
- Recall the beneficial physical characteristics that titanium, chromium, and manganese impart when doped into steel.
-
Molecular Crystals
- Conductivity of molecular solids can be induced by "doping" fullerenes (e.g., C60).
