A semiconductor only allows some electrons to flow across its junction. It has some resistance, in fact more resistance than a conductor but less than an insulator. A superconductor has no resistance.

What is the difference between the energy gap of a semiconductor and a superconductor?
Energy gap in a superconductor is not a constant but depends on temperature. Energy gap in a semiconductor is a fixed quantity which does not depend on temperature. The excited quasiparticles or cooper pairs are produced two at a time hence the gap is 2Delta0. In a semiconductor the gap is the energy needed to excite 1 electron into the conduction band. The ground state in a superconductor is made of superconducting cooper pairs , above the gap the electrons are unpaired , the cooper pairs have lower energy. Conduction takes place in the lower ground state in Superconductors , where in semiconductors the electrons conduct from the conduction band. In a superconductor the gap is tied to the fermi level , while in a semiconductor it is fixed to the lattice in reciprocal space.
Is water a superconductor?
Water is not a superconductor.
What are the differences between metal semiconductor and insulator?
comparsion table between semiconductor,conductorand insulator
The main difference of the semiconductor lasers and gas lasers?
The main difference is the medium of the laser.
A superconductor performs best at what?
Low temperature. A superconductor doesn't 'perform' at all, and isn't even a superconductor, above its critical temperature.
Which of the following could a magnet float over network solid semiconductor superconductor molecular solid?
A superconductor.

What is the difference between metal and semiconductor?
A semiconductor's resistivity decreases with increasing temperature. A metal's resistivity increases with increasing temperature.
What is the difference between semiconductor and electronics?
A semiconductor is a device which is neither a Insulator nor a conductor. They behave like one in the right conditions.
What is a material that easily allows the flow of electric charge through it is called a semiconductor b insulator c superconductor d conductor?
conducts
Difference between NPN and PNP?
NPN and PNP are transistor types. The difference in the way the layers of semiconductor material are doped with impurities.
Is there a connection between a metalloid and a semiconductor?
What is the connection between a metaloid and a semiconductor
Difference between intrinsic and exterinsic semiconductors?
Answer An intrinsic semiconductor is a pure semiconductor. An extrinsic semiconductor is doped with trivalent of pentavalent impurities. semiconductors allow only a little amount of electricity to pass through them.they are of two types - n type and p typeAre made of the semiconductor material in its purest from
Is water a superconductor?
Water is not a superconductor.
What are the differences between metal semiconductor and insulator?
comparsion table between semiconductor,conductorand insulator
What is the difference between phosphorus doped and gallium doped semiconductors?
phosphorus doped semiconductor will be N type.gallium doped semiconductor will be P type.There are also other differences due to the different size of the dopant atoms.
What is the difference between SIPs and DIPs?
A SIP (single inline package) is a semiconductor chip (monolith) that has one row of pins a DIP (dual inline package) is a semiconductor chip (monolith) that has two rows of pins
