Semiconductor is not a single substance and so cannot be identified as either.
Many semiconductors are made with metalloids, which have properties of both metals and nonmetals

Metal: Metal refers to a substance with high conductivity. In metals al the charge carriers are aligned in particular direction so that the flow of charge carriers contribute the current. In metals there is no energy gap between valence band and conduction band.
Semi Conductor: Semi conductor refers to substance in which charge carriers are aligned in random sense providing sufficient field we can make charge carriers to align in one direction . There is a small energy gap between conduction band and valence band.
A geranium is a flower, and not a semiconductor. The element Germanium, however, is a semiconductor, which means it has an electrical conductivity somewhere between that of a metal and an insulator.
Clocked Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
If electrons are left behind in metal this will increase the voltage difference between a metal electrode and a solution. Also if the solution becomes more positive this will cause an increase.
The difference among Metal,Semiconductor and Insulator is written bellow-1.Metal:Substances through which electricity can pass easily is called Metal.1.Semiconductor:Substance which conductivity lies between Metal and Insulator are called Semiconductor.1.Insulator:Substances through which electricity can not pass easily are called Insulator.
