Definition: Semiconductors that have been doped with small amounts of impurity elements to increase their conductivity.
Types of Doping:
n-type Semiconductors: Doped with group V elements (e.g., phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb)).
Mechanism: Group V elements have five valence electrons. When doped into silicon, four of these electrons form covalent bonds with neighboring silicon atoms, leaving the fifth electron free to move.
Charge Carriers: The additional free electrons increase the number of negative charge carriers, making electrons the majority carriers.
Example: Doping silicon with phosphorus increases the electron concentration, forming an n-type semiconductor.
p-type Semiconductors: Doped with group III elements (e.g., boron (B), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In)).

Charge Carriers: The holes increase the number of positive charge carriers, making holes the majority carriers.
Example: Doping silicon with boron increases the hole concentration, forming a p-type semiconductor.
