context: A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity that is between the insulator and the conductor. Semiconductors are also referred to as semi-conducting electricity. A semiconductor is an insulator if it is not given an electric current in a certain way and the amount of current, but at a certain temperature, current, certain procedures and work requirements of the semiconductor functions as a conductor, for example as a current amplifier, voltage amplifier and power amplifier. To use a semiconductor in order to function it must know the specifications and character of the semiconductor, if it does not meet its operating requirements it will not function and be damaged. The most commonly used semiconductor materials are silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide.
