    Doping pure silicon with phosphorus adds extra electrons that are not bonded to atoms, making the material an electrically conductive n-type semiconductor. Doping with elements missing an electron creates holes in the silicon lattice that allow charge movement, resulting in a p-type semiconductor. Group V elements donate electrons while Group III elements accept electrons, a key concept in diode physics.

    By doping pure silicon with Group V elements such as phosphorus, extra valence electrons are added that become

    unbonded from individual atoms and allow the compound to be an electrically conductive n-type semiconductor. Doping with Group III elements, which are missing the fourth valence electron, creates "broken bonds" (holes) in the silicon lattice that are free to move. The result is an electrically conductive p-type semiconductor. In this context, a Group V element is said to behave as an electron donor, and a group III element as an acceptor. This is a key concept in the physics of a diode.
