This document discusses silicon and its various forms used in electronics. Silicon can be a semiconductor when doped, an insulator when oxidized to form silicon dioxide, or a conductor when highly doped. The document covers crystallographic planes, intrinsic silicon, doping, and the different forms silicon can take on based on how it is processed.
