What elements are used as impurities for doping germanium and silicon?

Any Pentavalent or Trivalent atom can be added to Silicon to create an "N" type or "P" type Material respectively. Which is used to create a PN Junction. Examples of Pentavalent atoms would be arsenic, antimony, and phosphorus, these Pentavalent atoms would be used to create an "N" Type material. Examples of Trivalent atoms are aluminum, boron, and gallium. Trivalent atom would be used to create "P" type material. I don't know why you would dope germanium, unless your talking about very old technology. Germanium use has slowed to a crawl since the discovery of intrinsic (pure) silicon.
