Silicene is a material in which silicon atoms are packed in two-dimensional hexagonal lattice, similar to that of graphene. Compared to graphene, silicene has promising potential to be applied in microelectronic technology because of its compatibility with silicon comonly used in semiconducting devices. Natrium and chlorine are easy to extract and can be used as dopants in FET (Field Effect Transistor). In this work, the effects of adsorption energy and electronic structure of silicene to both natrium and chlorine atoms are calculated with Density Functional Theory (DFT). The results show that dopings of Na transform silicene which is initially semimetal into a metal. Then dopings of Cl Top-site transform silicene into a semiconducting material and doping of Na and Cl simultaneously transfoms silicene into a conducting material.
