All semiconductor material has 4 valance e- so it requires less energy to participate in conduction i.e. 0.3 for Ge and 0.7 eV for si and that much of energy is generated at room temperature so it acts like conductor but at low temperature the energy is not so much so it acts like insulator.

Silicon and Germanium but now today a days we also use Gallium.

Si is more widely used in transistors. As si has low leakage current than Ge at high temperatures.

Silicons in mostly used because of low leakage current as compared to germanium which has high leakage current at high temperatures.

These materials having peculiar electrical properties, they neither fully conductor nor fully insulator and we can alter the properties by doping with specific dopant.

Both are semiconductors and show the properties of conductor and insulator at high and low temperature respectively.

Both silicon and germanium are semiconducting materials.
Kriti said:

Silicon and germanium are semiconductors materials which behave both as conductors and insulators.
