Semiconductor Physics Training Course
A semiconductor is a substance whose resistivity lies between the conductors and insulators. The property of resistivity is not the only one that decides a material as a semiconductor, but it has a few properties as follows. Semiconductors have a resistivity that is less than insulators and more than conductors.
