Why you need a semiconductor if you have a conductor?

Best Answer

A conductor, in electrical terms, is any material that electricity can flow through.

A semiconductor allows you to control the path of electricity. The original version of this was the Vacuum Tube, followed by the Transistor. The transistors got smaller and smaller, now made of silicone, and are now located in computer chips.
