Doping is the most versatile tool to influence transport properties of a given solid. Simple rules for its application in ionic and covalent materials are formulated. The usual doping concept that relies on hetero‐valence effects is extended to homo‐valent situations, which exhibit elastic interactions. Another extension refers to incorporation of higher‐dimensional dopants such as interfaces or dislocations. The description is kept on a qualitative level for the reader who is mostly interested in materials synthesis and design.
