SemiConductor = Kind-of-conducts.
Really! By applying electricity to the conducting material (usually in a transistor or Integrated chip) the conduction rate of the material changes. This allows you to change the flow of electricity through the semiconductor by using a second smaller control voltage.

This is the basis of most electrical components.

Conductors

(made out of materials that are not semi-conductors) fully allow electricity to flow through it.


Insulators (Non-Conductors)

completely block the flow of electricity.
