{wiki=Semiconductor_materials}
Semiconductor materials are substances that have electrical conductivity between that of conductors (like metals) and insulators (like glass). This unique property allows semiconductors to effectively control electrical current, making them essential for a wide range of electronic devices. The key characteristics of semiconductor materials include: 1. **Band Gap**: Semiconductors have a band gap energy, typically between 0.1 to 4 eV. This band gap allows for the control of electron flow.
