Why you only use 5th or 3rd group element for doping?

I presume that we are here talking about a silicon semiconductor. The point of using a group 3 or a group 5 element is to use something that does not interfere too much with the crystal structure of silicon, but that has an extra electron for n-type doping, or absence of an electron for p-type doping. Thus for p-type doping we would use aluminium or gallium or scandium, because each of these has only 3 valence electrons instead of 4, while for n-type doping we would use phosphorus or arsenic or antimony, because these are elements with 5 valence electrons.


What is doping in reference to metalloids?

Doping in the context of metalloids refers to the intentional introduction of certain impurities into the crystal lattice of a metalloid material to modify its electrical or optical properties. This process is commonly used in semiconductor technology to alter the conductivity of materials like silicon to create electronic devices.


Why only 3rd and 5th group elements are used for doping of a semiconductor why not other group elements?

III and V group atoms are used for doping in column IV materials. III and V relate to the number of valence electrons that are available for bonding. Silicon, which is a column IV material, is usually in a bonding form with 4 other Si atoms. In this bonding scheme, valence electrons are shared and the "outer shell" of 8 electrons is complete. In doping, an atom replaces one of the Silicon atoms. A column V atom, such as Phosphorous, can replace a Silicon atom. The bonding will be the same, except that P will provide an extra electron to the system. With thermal energy, this electron can become disassociated with its original atom, thus ionizing the dopant and creating a free electron that can be used for conduction or other processes. In p-type doping, such as using Boron in Silicon, one of the bonds is not satisfied, since Boron only has 3 valence electrons. We call this absence of an electron a "hole". In compounds such as GaAs, we have a III-V compound. In this case, you can use a column IV material for doping. So, Silicon can be used as a dopant for a III-V compound. If Si replaces a Ga atom, then Si acts like a donor. If Si replaces a As atom, Si acts like an acceptor. People in the field can use other factors, such as pressure, to preferentially select which atoms Si will replace.


What three elements that are used in semiconductors?

Silicon is the most common element used in semiconductors due to its abundance and well-understood properties. Germanium is another element used in semiconductors, although less commonly than silicon. Arsenic and phosphorus are often incorporated as dopants to introduce either additional electrons (n-type doping) or electron vacancies (p-type doping) in semiconductors.

'Doping' is the word used in sport when athletes use prohibited substances or methods to unfairly improve their sporting performance.


Doping in sports?

Doping in sports refers to the use of prohibited substances or methods to enhance athletic performance. This practice undermines the integrity of competition and poses serious health risks to athletes. Organizations like the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) work to combat doping through testing and enforcement of regulations. Despite these efforts, doping remains a significant challenge in many sports, leading to ongoing debates about fairness and ethics in competition.
