Semiconductor Physics

How is a semiconductor different from a conductor?

How does current flow in an intrinsic semiconductor like silicon and germanium?

What is the effect of the impurities which produce p-type and n-type semiconductors?

A p-n junction will conduct current in one direction but not in the other. Why is that?

Describe the current characteristic of a pn junction diode.
