No, it is a conductor. It doesn't conduct as well as copper, but it conducts well enough that it's commonly used in high-tension electrical lines (it weighs much less than copper and it's a lot cheaper; those two factors offset the transmission losses).

What are the differences between metal semiconductor and insulator?
comparsion table between semiconductor,conductorand insulator
How are N-type semiconductor used in semiconductor diode?
p-type semiconductor is obtained by carrying out a process of doping that is by adding a certain type of atoms to the semiconductor in order to increase the number of the free charge carriers.
What is the narrow-band semiconductor?
Narrow-band semiconductor refers to the semiconductor materials with band gap that is relatively smaller than silicon. This is commonly used as thermo-electric or infrared detectors.
Why carbon is not used as semiconductor material?
carbon is not used as the semiconductor because it has larger band gap than silicon and germenium
What is bulk resistivity?
Bulk resistance is the ohmic resistance of the semiconductor material. The natural resistance of a "P" type or "N" type semiconductor material.
How is a semiconductor made p type?
by doping it with p-type impurities: boron, aluminum, gallium, indium; that have 3 valence electrons.

Is the laptop really made of Aluminum?
The laptop enclosure - the exterior walls containing the hardware - is made of aluminum. However the interior hardware itself is made of other materials - silicon, copper, other heavy metals. As aluminum is not a semiconductor, it cannot be used to produce computer hardware.
Is sodium a semiconductor?
It is a semiconductor.
What is led and how does it work?
A light emitting diode is a special type of diode made of transparent semiconductor (silicon & germanium are opaque) like aluminum indium gallium phosphide. The selected semiconductor must also have a large enough band gap that when electrons fall into holes photons are emitted.
How are P- type semiconductor materials formed?
P-type semiconductor materials are formed by adding trivalent impurities, such as boron or aluminum, to a pure semiconductor material like silicon. These impurities introduce "holes" in the crystal lattice of the material, creating positively charged carriers. This results in a material with an excess of positive charge carriers, making it P-type.
What is a semiconductor slice?
A semiconductor slice is used to make integrated circuits or ICs. It is also known as a semiconductor wafer or a semiconductor substrate.
When was ON Semiconductor created?
ON Semiconductor was created in 1999.
Is tungsten a semiconductor?
Tungsten is really a semiconductor.
What is ON Semiconductor's population?
The population of ON Semiconductor is 21,000.
Is sodium chloride a semiconductor?
NaCl is not a semiconductor.
Is copper a conductor and a semiconductor?
Copper is a conductor but not a semiconductor.
