Conventional semiconductor detectors used for light dark matter detection via ionization signals lose sensitivity for dark matter masses below an MeV, for which the energy deposited in a scattering event falls below the bandgap. We propose to overcome this limitation by introducing dopants in the semiconductor target. Dopants have ionization energies that lie orders of magnitude below typical...
