There are two key properties of semiconductor memory. It can either be stable or semistable as it is used to represent both binary 0 and binary 1. It can be written into and read in order to sense the state of the code.

The operating temperature of a semiconductor is the temperature at which a semiconductors exhibits the properties of a normal conductor.
Core memory refers to computer memory that consisted of magnetic cores. This memory is now obsolete and is replaced by semiconductor memory known as main memory.
Silver is not a semiconductor; it is a metal with different electrical properties. Silver is a good conductor of electricity due to its high conductivity, making it useful in various electrical applications.
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.
There are a few (general) properties of semiconductors:Allowing current to move more easily in one direction than anotherOperating better at high temperature (as opposed to normal conductors where the reverse is true)The can exhibit variable resistanceThey can be sensitive to lightThey can be sensitive to heatCan used to produce coherent light (semiconductor lasers)The exact property is determined by the make up of the semi-conductorThe basic element of a semiconductor memory is the memory cell. Although a variety of electronic technologies are used, all semiconductor memory cells share certain properties:They exhibit two stable (or semi-stable) states, which can be used to represent binary 1 and 0.They are capable of being written into (at least once), to set the state.They are capable of being read to sense the state.
Carbon has unique properties that make it challenging to use as a semiconductor material. It can exist in multiple structures (diamond, graphite, etc.) with varying electrical properties, making it difficult to control and predict its behavior as a semiconductor. Additionally, fabricating carbon-based semiconductor devices is technologically complex and expensive compared to traditional semiconductor materials like silicon.
