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.
Metalloids are used to make semiconductors because they possess intermediate electrical conductivity between conductors and insulators, which can be precisely controlled through doping. This property allows metalloids, like silicon and germanium, to efficiently manage electrical current and facilitate the flow of electrons. Their unique atomic structure enables the formation of p-type and n-type semiconductors, essential for creating various electronic components such as transistors and diodes. Additionally, metalloids are abundant and have well-established fabrication processes, making them practical choices for semiconductor applications.
The semiconductors are found primarily in the transition metals groups and are referred to as metalloids.
Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.
Metalloids are natural chemical elements.
Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium are the metalloids.
Metalloids like silicon and germanium have semiconducting properties, which allow them to switch small electric currents off when used in electronic devices. By doping these metalloids with specific impurities, their conductivity can be modulated to control the flow of electrons and enable the switching function in electronic components.

increases with doping
Doping is of two types,..
doping is done based on segments and boundaries wise
PMOS - (drain + source) = p-type doping NMOS - (drain + source) = n-type doping :)
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.
metalloids
where metalloids fit into the properties
Those elements are called metalloids. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Doping is a process of adding some impurity in pure material or pure semiconductor.
World Anti-Doping Agency was created in 1999.
