Kind of semiconductor (5)

I believe the answer is:

diode

'kind of semiconductor' is the definition.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for diode that I've seen before include "Semiconductor device" , "Valve" , "Electrical component" , "Electrical rectifier" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
