Semiconductor is not a single substance and so cannot be identified as either.
Many semiconductors are made with metalloids, which have properties of both metals and nonmetals

∙ 12y agoMetal: Metal refers to a substance with high conductivity. In metals al the charge carriers are aligned in particular direction so that the flow of charge carriers contribute the current. In metals there is no energy gap between valence band and conduction band.
Semi Conductor: Semi conductor refers to substance in which charge carriers are aligned in random sense providing sufficient field we can make charge carriers to align in one direction . There is a small energy gap between conduction band and valence band.

Why geranium is known semi conductors?
A geranium is a flower, and not a semiconductor. The element Germanium, however, is a semiconductor, which means it has an electrical conductivity somewhere between that of a metal and an insulator.
What is c2mos?
Clocked Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor
Difference between gunn diode and pin diode?
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
Difference between a semiconductor and insulator?
The difference among Metal,Semiconductor and Insulator is written bellow-1.Metal:Substances through which electricity can pass easily is called Metal.1.Semiconductor:Substance which conductivity lies between Metal and Insulator are called Semiconductor.1.Insulator:Substances through which electricity can not pass easily are called Insulator.
What can increase the voltage difference between a metal electrode and a solution?
If electrons are left behind in metal this will increase the voltage difference between a metal electrode and a solution. Also if the solution becomes more positive this will cause an increase.
What is the difference between metal and semiconductor?
A semiconductor's resistivity decreases with increasing temperature. A metal's resistivity increases with increasing temperature.
What are the differences between metal semiconductor and insulator?
comparsion table between semiconductor,conductorand insulator
What is silicon an alkali metal alkaline-earth metal transition metal or a semiconductor?
"semiconductor"
What is difference between ohmic and rectifying contact?
A p-n junction (or a metal-semiconductor junction) with rectifying behaviour is an electronic device which allows a one-way only current flow (between the two semiconductor regions, or between the metal and the semiconductor). An ohmic contact in a metal-semiconductor junction is realized by lowering the potential barrier (allowing electrons to easily migrate into the metal) and by increasing the doping levels in the semiconductor (more than 10^18 cm^-3): this way the potential barrier, that should stop electrons from migrating into the semiconductor, is confined in a very small region making it possible for electrons with low energy to pass through it (tunneling effect). This means that in a ohmic contact current can flow both ways; such a device apparently works like a resistor with a low resistance, hence the "ohmic contact" name.
CMOS full form?
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
What is the difference between semiconductor and electronics?
A semiconductor is a device which is neither a Insulator nor a conductor. They behave like one in the right conditions.
Why geranium is known semi conductors?
A geranium is a flower, and not a semiconductor. The element Germanium, however, is a semiconductor, which means it has an electrical conductivity somewhere between that of a metal and an insulator.
What does cmo stand for?
It stands for: Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
What is difference in seebeck effect by using metal and semiconductor?
Seebeck effect is a compact needle. This is what makes the compose work right.
Is titanium is a semiconductor?
No, titanium is a metal.
What is NMO?
N is the type of semiconductor, MOS refers to Metal Oxide Semiconductor device.
Difference between NPN and PNP?
NPN and PNP are transistor types. The difference in the way the layers of semiconductor material are doped with impurities.
