Abstract :
BY ITSELF silicon is actually not all that great a semiconductor. To do anything useful it has to be mixed with other elements to change its properties; but by adding other elements to the crystal lattice it is possible to improve silicon´s performance, not just making it more conductive to pass electrons much more easily, but to actively block them as well.
