I don't think so. Otherwise you wouldn't need the "O" in CMOS.
It certainly becomes *more* conductive after you dope it, but the point
of doping it is to put N-doped and P-doped silicon bits next to each other.

If you got a *superconductor* by doping a semiconductor, at room
temperature, you would get a Nobel price in physics like right now.
A superconductor has 0 resistance. A doped semiconductor has a resistance
larger than 0. It's not a superconductor.
Maybe you meant that the semiconductor becomes a metallic conductor when
doped?

FWIW, I don't think that happens either. It might become a better
conductor, but nothing close to metalic.

IIUC he ment that doped silicon becomes a semi-conducter, like a doped
conducter can become superconducter.
Just my 2 cents.

Probably. Chemisty was never really my strong suit in school - I
preferred math & physics (of light).

Exactly which doped conductor can become a superconductor? (And at what
temperature?)

Dunno, *I* haven't read superconductor-physics. That's just *how i red
what Chambers wrote*, so that's *what I think he ment*.

Kind of, but I was wrong :)

You can make them yourself if you team up with a suitable joint venture
partner. Best thing is the units can in fact replicate further so you
can potentially populate all available space with these units.
Of course other 'companies' are trying to do the same with their
competing designs.

We are all sexy, sexy von Neumann machines!
