What are Semiconductors?
Defining Semiconductors and Their Properties
A semiconductor is a material that has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like glass). This unique property allows semiconductors to control the flow of electricity, making them essential components in electronic devices. The conductivity of a semiconductor can ...
