A material with a band gap small enough that temperature, light, impurities, gates, or injection can create mobile electrons and holes, making conductivity strongly controllable.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Semiconductors are electronic materials with a moderate band gap and carrier populations that can be controlled by temperature, light, doping, gates, or injection.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
A semiconductor has a band gap while temperature, doping, illumination, or electrostatic control can populate mobile conduction-band electrons or valence-band holes.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
