Pure semiconductors are insulators at room temperature. Impurities must be added to imbalance the covalent bonds of the crystal structure to make them conduct. This process of adding impurities is called doping. Dopants are usually selected from the columns immediately left (P type dopants producing hole current carriers) and immediately right (N type dopants producing electron current carriers) of the column of semiconductors on the Periodic Table.
By varying the amount of dopant the resistivity of the semiconductor varies inversely.
By using opposite type dopants adjacent to each other a PN junction forms, which can be used to make diodes, transistors, etc.
By doping an area of the semiconductor, oxidizing the surface of that area and plating the oxide with metal a MOS capacitorcan be made.
Components are wired together to make a circuit by covering the chip with an insulator (typically an oxide or nitride), etching holes in the insulator to the component contacts, plating the chip with metal and etching away the metal where you don't want things connected.
Thus doping (and a few other process steps) allows you to create all electronic components except inductors (and those can either be connected externally or simulated with a circuit called a "gyrator" consisting of a capacitor and several opamps) needed to make monolithic ICs.

What is doping correlation?
'Doping' is the word used in sport when athletes use prohibited substances or methods to unfairly improve their sporting performance.
Why are doping materials called impurities?
because they change a materiel's property from it original form (pure form), to a different property from due to doping fig of semiconductor distrot
What is the ratio of doping in simple diode and zener diode?
3.2
Why doping is require in semiconductor?
doping is done to increase the no. of holes in a semi conductor or to increase the no. of electron in order to conduct high amount of electricity , further info u can easily get from any 12th std. book.
What effect do added impurities have on semiconductor conductivity?
It is called as DOPING. Doping is the process in which you add an impurity to a pure semiconductor to increase its conductivity. While doping is done, crystal structure of semiconductor is not disturbed.
What is the effect of doping on depletion region?
increases with doping
How many types of doping?
Doping is of two types,..
How is doping done in practical?
doping is done based on segments and boundaries wise
What type of doping have the drain and the source of a PMOS transistor?
PMOS - (drain + source) = p-type doping NMOS - (drain + source) = n-type doping :)
Did European athletes ever cheat in the olympics?
European athletes cheat all the time and make up the majority of athletes who get busted for doping. Example: West Germany state sponsored doping program, Spanish governments doping coverup, doping in the Tour de France, rampant doping in european football etc.
When was World Anti-Doping Agency created?
World Anti-Doping Agency was created in 1999.
What is mean by doping?
Doping is a process of adding some impurity in pure material or pure semiconductor.
What does the organization WADA do?
It works toward a vision of a world where all athletes compete in a doping-free sporting environment. They develop anti-doping capacities, and monitor the World Anti Doping Code.
What is oxygen doping?
dont no
Which governing body is involved in promoting and regulating anti-doping in sport?
To be honest it is called The National Doping Agency.
How Significant is the Role of Doping in Semiconductor's Conductivity?
Very. Doping determines the conductivity, pure silicon is a good insulator.
What is doping in chemistry?
Addition of small amount of foreign impurity in the host crystal is known as doping. It increases the electrical conductivity.
