Silver is semiconductor or not
Though silver wire is roughly 7 percent more conductive than a copper wire of the same length, silver is a significantly rarer metal than copper. Combined with silver's tendency to oxidize and lose efficiency as an electrical conductor, the relatively minor increase in conductivity makes copper a more sensible option in most scenarios. A semiconductor is any metal that falls in between a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors can be found in a number of wires that are used today, such as platinum thermocouple wire. Semiconductors are used in other manufacturing products, such as: Mirrored Silver; Silver Scrap (used from manufacturing solar panels) Silver, like gold, is used in many facets of semiconductor manufacturing, again more particularly in the assembly or packaging processes. Most epoxy die attach materials contain silver fillers for increased thermal and electrical conductivity.
