| A | B |
| semiconductor | material having conductivity between metals and nonmetals ( good-poor) conducticity, and having controllable electrical conductivities |
| ceramics | made from clay or clay-like mixtures |
| doping | adding impurities (other elements) to modify conductivity |
| integrated circuit | small chip that contains many semiconductor devices |
| polymer | long chain of small, repeated molecules (monomers) |
| synthetic | not occur naturally, make in laboratory |
| composite | mixture of two or more materials, layered or embedded |
| alloy | mixture of elements with metalic properties |
| luster | shiny apearance, reflects light |
| conductivity | material allows thermal energy or electrical charges to move easily |
