A semiconductor is a material that has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor (such as a metal) and an insulator (such as a non - metal). Metals are good conductors of electricity. Non - metals are generally insulators (poor conductors). So a semiconductor conducts electricity but not as well as a metal.
