A semiconductor is a solid material that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals. This video shows what they are and how they can be changed from one to the other, either by the addition of an impurity or by temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors, especially silicon, are essential components of most electronic circuits. Semiconductors are in everything from cell phones to rockets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":58945,"template":"","class_list":["post-1778","video","type-video","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nSemiconductors: What They Are and How They Work -
