Definition of semiconductor

Hi! I wonder if the current definition of semiconductor is the best possible. Rather than being defined by being "in-between" conductors and insulator, I think the key property of a semiconductor is that it can be either conductive or insulating depending on several factors (doping, temperature, ...). I like the definition here much better: [1]. I hope some experts can weigh in in the discussion. -- Broc (talk) 10:05, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
