    The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor increases with temperature unlike metals, and semiconductor devices can pass current more easily in one direction, have variable resistance, and be sensitive to light or heat. Semiconductor materials can also have their electrical properties modified through controlled addition of impurities or application of electrical fields or light, allowing semiconductor devices to be used for amplification, switching, and energy conversion.

    The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor material increases with increasing temperature, which

    is behaviour opposite to that of a metal. Semiconductor devices can display a range of useful
    properties such as passing current more easily in one direction than the other, showing
    variable resistance, and sensitivity to light or heat. Because the electrical properties of a
    semiconductor material can be modified by controlled addition of impurities, or by the application of
    electrical fields or light, devices made from semiconductors can be used for amplification, switching,
    and energy conversion.
