Diodes, the most simple semiconductor devices, function as the electronic version of a [check valve]? - they allow current to flow through them in one direction, and block current from flowing through them in the opposite direction. This is accomplished by creating an electrical junction between a [p-type semiconductor]? block and an [n-type semiconductor]? block. See also semiconductor, transistor.
