(N/A) Semiconductors are materials whose electrical properties lie between those of conductors and insulators.
$1$. Conductivity $(\sigma)$: The conductivity of a semiconductor is typically in the range of $10^{-6} \text{ to } 10^{4} \text{ S/m}$.
$2$. Resistivity $(\rho)$: The resistivity of a semiconductor is typically in the range of $10^{-4} \text{ to } 10^{6} \text{ } \Omega \cdot \text{m}$.
These values are temperature-dependent; as temperature increases, the conductivity of a semiconductor increases, and its resistivity decreases.
