In other words,the resistivity of these materials lies inbetween conduc-tors and insulators. Such substances are classified assemiconductors. semiconductors have some usefulproperties and are being extensively used in electroniccircuits. For instance, transistor a Semiconductor de-vice is fast replacing bulky vacuum tubes in almost allapplications. Transistors are only one of the family ofsemiconductor devices ; many other semiconductordevices are becoming increasingly popular.
56 Principles of Electronics 5.1 Semiconductor It is not easy to define a semiconductor if we want to take into account all its physical characteristics. However, generally, a semiconductor is defined on the basis of electrical conductivity as under :
