	NFM - Semiconductor
		Semiconductor is a material with an electrical conductivity that is intermediate between that of an insulator and a conductor.
		A semiconductor has a band gap which is small enough such that its conduction band is appreciably thermally populated with electrons at room temperature, whilst an insulator has a band gap which is too wide for there to be appreciable thermal electrons in its conduction band at room temperature.
		It also follows from this that minority carrier concentrations in doped semiconductors are dependent on temperature to the square of the extent that carrier concentrations in intrinsic semiconductors are, since the majority carrier concentration is effectively fixed at the doping level.

		Semiconductor devices are available as single discrete devices or as components of an integrated circuit (IC), which consists of a large number–from hundreds to millions–of devices manufactured onto a single semiconductor substrate.
		Doping a semiconductor such as silicon with a small amount of impurity atoms, such as phosphorus or boron, greatly increases the number of free electrons or holes (generally known as charge carriers) within the semiconductor.
		The semiconductor material used in devices is doped under highly controlled conditions in a "fab" to precisely control the location and concentration of p- and n-type dopants.

	Heterostructure semiconductor device - Patent 4755857
		The second layer is doped with a conductivity-determining doping material, the doping material concentration in said second layer being at least one order of magnitude larger than the concentration of any doping material present in the first layer.
		The semiconductor and doping materials are chosen such that the energy levels of the doping material atoms in the second layer have an energetically more unfavorable position than an adjacent of the energy bands of the first layer, so that charge carriers migrate from the doped second layer into an adjacent region of first layer.
		The mobility of the charge carriers is increased in the heterostructure semiconductor bodies and devices according to the invention because the charge carriers are transferred from the relatively heavily doped semiconductor material of the larger band gap into the less doped semiconductor material having the smaller band gap.

	Proximity doping of amorphous semiconductors - Patent 4642144
		In substitutionally doped amorphous silicon the large density of gap states associated with the dopants means that the depletion or accumulation layers associated with Schottky contacts or externally applied gate voltages are thin in doped material, being of order 500A thick, which is not as thick as would be desirable in field effect transistors.
		The second plurality is doped such that the charge carriers in the gap states from the second plurality of layers transfer to the first plurality of layers and cause the conductivity of said first plurality to increase.
		In amorphous semiconductors the density of states edges are broader, being broadened by the structural disorder of the amorphous network in addition to the thermal motion of the atoms.

	Discovery of 'doping' mechanism in semiconductor nanocrystals
		Nanocrystals are tiny semiconductor particles just a few millionths of a millimeter across.
		If the impurity binds to the nanocrystal surface too weakly, or if the strongly binding surfaces are only a small fraction of the total, then doping will be difficult." From calculations based on this central idea, the team could predict conditions favorable for doping.
		According to Dr. David Norris, an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at UMN and the lead experimentalist on the team, "an exciting aspect of these results is that they overturn a common belief that nanocrystals are intrinsically difficult to dope because they somehow 'self-purify' by expelling impurities from their interior.
