The document discusses the Fermi level in semiconductors and how it is affected by doping. Doping a semiconductor with donor or acceptor atoms shifts the Fermi level closer to the conduction or valence bands, respectively. This changes the conductivity as it determines how many charge carriers are available to move through the material.
