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.
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 :
