Semiconductors are materials which conduct electricity better than insulator, but no so well as ordinary conductors.
•The conductivity of the semiconductors can be increased by a process is called “doping”
•Doping is a process of adding a small amount of impurities into the pure crystal of semiconductor (intrinsic semiconductor).•Atoms of the impurities added should have almost the same size as the atoms of the intrinsic semiconductor.
