### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Semiconductor Device**: The semiconductor device that can be used as a rectifier is a **diode**. Specifically, a **p-n junction diode** is commonly used for this purpose. 2. **Understanding Rectification**: A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The diode allows current to flow in one direction (forward bias) and blocks it in the opposite direction (reverse bias). ...
