State
A crystal defect breaks a solid's ideal repeating pattern, including vacancies where a particle is missing and interstitials filling a gap.
Show
Silicon crystals are deliberately doped with trace impurities, introducing defects that give the semiconductor its desired electrical properties.
Watch for
A defect is a departure from ideal structure, not automatically a flaw — doping introduces defects on purpose.
