Doping may refer to:
In semiconductor production, doping intentionally introduces impurities into an extremely pure intrinsic semiconductor for the purpose of modulating its electrical properties. The impurities are dependent upon the type of semiconductor and the properties that it needs to have for its intended purpose. Lightly and moderately doped semiconductors are referred to as extrinsic semiconductors. A semiconductor doped to such high levels that it acts more like a conductor than a semiconductor is referred to as a degenerate semiconductor.
In the context of phosphors and scintillators, doping is better known as activation.
