Doping a Semiconductor

Doping A Semiconductor

1. One way to increase the conductivity of a semiconductor is by doping. 
2. Doping is a process of adding a small amount of impurities to a semiconductor.
3. The impurities added to the semiconductor are called dopants.
4. By adding impurity atoms to a conductor can increase its electrical conductivity. 
5. There are two types of semiconductor depending on the type of impurities doped, namely
1. the n-type semiconductor
2. the p-type semiconductor
