dopant

Usage Note

Dopante describes a substance intentionally introduced into a semiconductor or material to modify its electrical properties — the English equivalent is 'dopant' or 'doping agent'. As a noun it refers to the impurity itself (el dopante). It should not be confused with the sports-doping sense, which in Spanish uses doping (a loanword) or dopaje.

Examples

"El dopante aumenta la conductividad del semiconductor."

Natural Translation

The dopant increases the conductivity of the semiconductor.
