What does DOPANT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A trace substance deliberately added to a semiconductor to change how well it conducts electricity.
Silicon on its own conducts poorly, so makers mix in tiny quantities of another element such as boron or phosphorus. That dopant supplies extra electrons or leaves gaps where electrons can move, and the chosen type decides whether the crystal behaves as n-type or p-type material. Modern chips depend on exact control of where each dopant sits and how much of it is used.

- Boron is a common dopant for making p-type silicon.
