Semiconductor Definition

A semiconductor is a material exhibiting properties of both electrical conduction and insulation. A Conductor allows electrons to become 'excited' and flow - such as electrical current flowing through copper wire - a conductor. Insulator materials resist or block the flow of electrons - such as plastic coatings on electrical wires - which enables control […]
