Put simply, a semiconductor is a material that conducts electricity to a degree between that of an insulator and a conductor. This unique property allows semiconductors to conduct current, though only partially. This fundamental characteristic forms the basis of modern electronic devices.

Semiconductors play a vital role in electronics because their properties can be adjusted and controlled to offer practical functions. For instance, in a MOSFET transistor, applying voltage to the semiconductor material alters its conductivity, allowing for electronic switching without moving parts. Another example is in rectifiers, where the semiconductor design facilitates easier current flow in one direction, enabling directional current control.
