The electrical conductivity of pure silicon can be increased by

Answer 1

Silicon is a period 3 element belonging to Block P and Group 14. Its electronic configuration is [Ne]3s2 3p2.

Silicon is available in abundance, second only to oxygen, and seldom occurs as a pure free element naturally. It constitutes 25.7% of the earth’s crust by weight. Silicon is normally found in the form of silicon dioxide or silicates in rocks, minerals and sands.

Single silicon crystals required for semiconductor devices are obtained using the Czochralski process. Silicon is extensively used in integrated circuits, which form the basis of most computers; hence modern technology is almost entirely dependent on it
