Semiconductors differ widely in their ability to be doped. As their band gap increases, it is usually possible to dope them either n or p type, but not both. This asymmetry is documented here, and explained phenomenologically in terms of the {open_quotes}doping pinning rule.{close_quotes} {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
