List of semiconductor materials - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor_materialsSemiconductor materials are nominally small band gap insulators. The defining property of a semiconductor material is that it can be compromised by doping it with impurities that alter its electronic properties in a controllable way. Because of their application in the computer and photovoltaic industry—in devices such as transistors, lasers, and solar cells—the search for new semiconductor materials and the improvement of existing materials is an important field of stud…
Electronic Equiptment List

The list is more meant to be a reference point for a laboratory used by multiple people on a day-to-day basis. Froogle/Ebay is your friend, I bought my Metcal MX500 for $200 on eBay and it works great.
