Some Important Properties of Semiconductors are:

  1. Semiconductor acts like an insulator at Zero Kelvin. On increasing the temperature, it works as a conductor.
  2. Due to their exceptional electrical properties, semiconductors can be modified by doping to make semiconductor devices suitable for energy conversion, switches, and amplifiers.
  3. Lesser power losses.
  4. Semiconductors are smaller in size and possess less weight.
  5. Their resistivity is higher than conductors but lesser than insulators.
  6. The resistance of semiconductor materials decreases with the increase in temperature and vice-versa.
