Really! By applying electricity to the conducting material (usually in a transistor or Integrated chip) the conduction rate of the material changes. This allows you to change the flow of electricity through the semiconductor by using a second smaller control voltage.
This is the basis of most electrical components.
Conductors
(made out of materials that are not semi-conductors) fully allow electricity to flow through it.
Insulators (Non-Conductors)
completely block the flow of electricity.

∙ 11y agoConductors allow electricity to pass through it, insulators don't conduct, it has to do with how tight the electrons are bound to the atom. In the case of a conductor they are loose and in insulators they are tightly bound. A semi conductor is something that conducts from one side, positive electricity can only enter from one side and not the other.

Why do you use semiconductor why not conductors and insulators by changing their properties?
We use semiconductors instead of conductors and insulators by changing their properties because the properties of a semiconductor lies between that of a good insulator ant that of a good conductor. Any of the materials obtained depends on the level of doping.
Is copper a conductor and a semiconductor?
Copper is a conductor but not a semiconductor.
Is a capacitor a conductor or semiconductor?
Conductor
Is iron a semiconductor?
iron is a conductor.
Is nickel a semiconductor?
Nickle is a metal.It is a good conductor.

Is copper a conductor and a semiconductor?
Copper is a conductor but not a semiconductor.
What is definition of semiconductor conductor and insulator?
semiconductor is intermediate between conductor and non conductor of electricity
Is a capacitor a conductor or semiconductor?
Conductor
What is a material that has resistance in between a conductor and an insulator?
A semiconductor (like Silicon) can be doped to act like various one way resistive conductors and insulators.
Differentiate in between conductor and semiconductor and insulators using band diagram?
Conductor-one which conducts(allow current)electric city in all condition. Semiconductor-One which behaves like conductor as well as insulator depending on condition. Insulator-one which donot conduct(allow current)electric city in all condition
Is argon a conductor semiconductor or not a conductor?
Its an Insulator
