Question

note on semiconductor

Answer 1

a solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors, notably silicon, are essential components of most electronic circuits.

A semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as copper, gold etc. and an insulator, such as glass

Answer 2

A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others, making it a good medium for the control of electrical current. ... Elemental semiconductors include antimony, arsenic, boron, carbon ...
