SemiConductor = Kind-of-conducts.
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.

Is sodium a semiconductor?

It is a semiconductor.


Is gold a semiconductor?

No, gold is not a semiconductor. Gold is a metal and is known for its excellent electrical conductivity, unlike semiconductors which have properties that fall between those of conductors and insulators.


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.

Does Semiconductor materials are substances with properties between those of a conductor and an insulator?

Yes, that is correct. Semiconductor materials have properties that fall between those of conductors and insulators. They have electrical conductivity higher than insulators but lower than conductors, making them essential for designing electronic devices such as transistors and diodes.
