Can you dig out a lower basement in a semi-detached house?
Yes. There are two ways to do it. The first is to "curb" - that is, to build out a concrete curb the same width as the depth you want to drop. Example: if you want to add 12 inches to your basement height, you then have to build a solid concrete curb that comes out from your wall 12 inches, then drops 12 inches. The second way to do it is to "underpin". Google both - "curbing basement" and "underpinning basement" for an explanation of how these things are done. Either way - you will need the services of an engineer, a building permit and likely permission from your neighbours. Good luck.

Should you build a basement or a second floor?
Normally when a basement is poured, there are no provisions for putting a roof on top of it. Structurally, it isn't a problem to build a basement larger than the main floor. But if you don't build on top of it, you have a major issue to deal with. You will need to determine how you will keep ground water, critters, dirt, etc from entering the basement from the uncovered side and coming into your home. If you properly seal the top of the uncovered side of the basement, I don't think you will have any problems.
