It does not alter the atomic structure of the silicon at all, what it alters is the balance of bulk valence band and conduction band electrons in the crystal of silicon thus altering its bulk conductivity.

How do you make semi-metals?

Semi-metals, also known as metalloids, are typically made through a process called doping. This involves adding small amounts of impurities to a pure semiconductor material, such as silicon or germanium. The impurities alter the electronic properties of the material, making it exhibit characteristics of both metals and non-metals.

What is the diffirence of silicon unilateral switch and silicon bilateral switch?

SUS - Silicon Unilateral Switchis a type of thyristor used as a breakover device that conducts current in only one direction, it has a third terminal that is used to alter the breakover voltage if connected to a zener diode.SBS - Silicon Bilateral Switchis a type of thyristor used as a breakover device which is capable of triggering triacs, it has a lower breakover voltage compared to triacs.


Can you change the melting point of ice?

yes adding anything that will dissolve into water will alter the chemical structure of the compound. This will cause it to become impure and will alter the freezing and boiling point. This is easily done with salt and sugar.
