Doping

Deliberately adding a very small amount of foreign

substance to an otherwise very pure semiconductor
crystal. These added impurities give the semiconductor
an excess of conducting electrons or an excess of
conducting holes (the absence of conducting electrons)
which is crucial for making a working transistor.

To treat with an impurity added in minute amounts to a
pure substance to alter its properties.

The addition of impurities to another substance, usually
solid, in a controlled manner that produces desired
properties. Silicon doping with small amounts of other
semi metallic elements increases the number of
electrical carriers.

Using chemicals or substances to boost performance -
usually refers to the use of substances that have been
banned by the UCI.

Controlled addition of small quantities of an impurity to
a pure substance in order to change its characteristics,
eg increase the refractive index (see refractive index)
of the fiber core. Electromagnetic compatibility EMC
Electromagnetic interference immunity and interference
emission of a cable/system.

The substitution of atoms in a semiconductor by
species of a different valence to the host species, such
that extra charge carriers, electrons or positive holes,
are introduced and the conductivity of the
semiconductor is increased.

The process of adding impurity atoms to intrinsic (pure)
silicon or germanium to improve the conductivity of the
semiconductor material.

One or more foreign elements (such as fluorine)
are added to the silica glass matrix in order to
deliberately obtain other chemical and optical
properties.

In sports, doping refers to the use of performance-
enhancing drugs, such as anabolic steroids, particularly
those that are forbidden by the organizations that
regulate competitions. Some doping substances,
however, are permitted in low doses (alcohol and
caffeine). Another form of doping is blood doping,
either by blood transfusion or use of the hormone
erythropoietin (EPO). Also considered "doping" by
many is the use of substances that mask other forms of
doping.

In semiconductor production, doping refers to the
process of intentionally introducing impurities into a
pure semiconductor substrate, in order to change its
electrical properties. The desired impurities are
dependent upon the basic type of semiconductor used.
