Question

Describe essential properties that a material should have to be considered as a semiconductor.

Answer 1

semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a metal, like copper, gold, etc. and an insulator, such as glass. Their resistance decreases as their temperature increases, which is behaviour opposite to that of a metal.

Answer 2

The electrical materials are classified into insulators, semiconductors and conductors according to their ability to conduct electricity. Semiconductors have advanced the electronics industry in a fantastic manner in the last few decades.
