Semi-conductors

Jared Vickers And Jon Leiphart

=Semiconductors= A semicondutor is a special material frequently consisted of silicon that conducts differently under different conditions. Semiconductors are used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit and amplify a signal or to switch current flow on and off. =Examples= Anything that is computerized or uses radio waves depends on semiconductors. Semi conductors chips or transistors are usually made of silicon.rs

A semiconductor is a solid material whos electrical conductivity at room temperature is between a conductor and that of an insulator.
 * Conceptual View of a Transistor** In a certain type of transistor, the semiconductor material normally acts as an insulator. When it is pulsed with electricity, it becomes electrically conductive for that moment and acts like an electrical bridge.

What in your words is a semi conductor? Do you think that semiconductors are a good idea? Could you explain how a semiconductor works? Do you think we did a good job? Have you even heard of a semiconductor before?
