Semiconductors can either be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic semiconductors are elements that are in their pure form. These will usually have positive and negative sides because the electrons migrate towards one direction. On the other hand, extrinsic semiconductors are when the conductivity (or ability to make an electric charge with the electrons) are controlled by adding other atoms. These atoms that are added are called dopants. Dopants donate or receive electrons from the semiconductor to make impure.

Technology is the result of scientific discovery and understanding. But in turn, science is advanced by using more advanced technology. Specifically, quantum mechanics in physics lead to semiconductors in physics . Then semiconductors were used to replace many electrical components in almost all electronic devices which allowed for better computer technology which now is used to advance science to make further discoveries and sometimes faster too.

Semiconductors are usually found in electronic appliances, such as radios and computers. Semiconductors are electrically conductive and are used for power.
Silicon is the most common element used in semiconductors due to its abundance and well-understood properties. Germanium is another element used in semiconductors, although less commonly than silicon. Arsenic and phosphorus are often incorporated as dopants to introduce either additional electrons (n-type doping) or electron vacancies (p-type doping) in semiconductors.
Compound semiconductors have very low lifetime of charge carriers and hence they are not used for making Transistors and ICs.Rather it is used for making LEDs and LASER diodes.So the compound semiconductors are called photo-diodes. -M.R
Semiconductors
The indirect band gap semiconductors like silicon and germanium are mostly used because they are elemental, plentiful, and easier to process than the direct band gap semiconductors which are alloys or compounds.
