All metals (on the left side of the steps) are conductors, whereas all non-metals (on the right side of the steps, including hydrogen) are insulators. However, there may be some elements near the steps that may or may not conduct, along with the lanthanides and actinides group

A semiconductor is not an element. It is is a material with electrical conductivity intermediate in magnitude between that of a conductor and an insulator.

The most popular element used to build a semiconductor is silicon. Others materials are germanium, gallium arsenide, and silicon carbide.
