Yes you are correct the silicon is "doped" with arsenic, phosphorus or boron usually, at the atomic leveland it is these positive or negatively charged elements that form the electrical "gates" with silicon that makeup the semiconductor transistors and other electrical functions necessary to form the complete what usedto be called circuit boards... these days they are more usually referred to as semiconductor chips or wafers.Being at the atomic level and involving minute positive and negative electrical charges this is what makesthe sensors susceptible to damage/malfunction by external static charges...
