Dopants are chemical impurities, which are intentionally added to a semiconductor material to alter its electrical and physical properties. Synonyms for the term dopants include impurities, additives, adulterants, agents, contaminants, supplements or enhancers. These terms are often used interchangeably with dopants, as they all refer to the same concept of introducing impurities into a material to modify its characteristics. Dopants are vital in the production of electronics and semiconductors, as they enable the creation of various electrical or optical components with specific performance and functionality. The choice of dopant material and concentration is crucial, as they can drastically impact the final device's properties and performance.
