  • Awesome! You have really clarified to me what a semi-conductor is actually. I do wonder why semiconductors are used in electronic devices as you mentioned but don't conduct electricity. But now I know that it conducts electricity when the surrounding temperature is increased to cause the electrons to jump from a ground/lower state to a higher (or excited) state. Also, that conduction can take or take place when the gap between electrons in material from a lower energy state and a higher energy state is small (conductors) or medium (semi-conductors). Thank you once again.
