What is a Semiconductor?
A semiconductor is a material whose electrical conductivity lies between that of a conductor (like copper, which conducts electricity easily) and an insulator (like rubber, which does not conduct electricity). This means it conducts electricity only under specific conditions such as certain temperature, voltage, or when impurities are added.
The most important feature of a semiconductor is that its conductivity can be controlled — which is why it is
