= Hill limit (solid-state)
{wiki=Hill_limit_(solid-state)}
The Hill limit, in the context of solid-state physics, refers to the maximum concentration of dopants that can be incorporated into a semiconductor material without significantly altering its crystalline structure or leading to phase separation. This concept is important when doping materials to improve their electrical, optical, or thermal properties. When a semiconductor is doped, impurities or foreign atoms are introduced into its crystal lattice.
