There are many ways of classifying materials. The one we shall use here is based on the ability of a material to conduct electricity. It is known that conduction takes place as a result of the motion of charged particles, usually electrons. The ability of any material to conduct electricity is directly proportional to the number of charged particles inside the material that canbeset in motion. Materials (for example metals) that have relatively large numbers of free electrons readily conduct electric current and are called conductors. Other materials having very few (or no) free electrons do not readily conduct electric current under normal conditions and are called insulators. Such materials as selenium, silicon and germanium have more free electrons than insulators, but fewer than conductors. They are called semiconductors. Conductivity depends on temperature. In metals the higher the temperature, the lower the conductivity. But in semiconductors, if the temperature rises, the conductivity increases but within certain limits. It should be realized1 that the terms “conductor” and “insulator” are not absolute, that is2 some conductors do not conduct as well as other conductors, while some insulators do not insulate as well as other insulators.
