Diode Flow

why we use a diode (semiconductor) instead of a simple conductor(like copper wire) in elecronics circuits?
why we use a diode (semiconductor) instead of a simple conductor (like copper wire) in elecronics circuits if we have to obtain only current flow from a diode,,which can be obtained the same from a copper wire also.
plz help
thnx in advance
The defining characteristic of a diode is that it only conducts in one direction, unless it is a zener diode (another topic altogether). This is important in several areas:
1. Rectifying an AC signal to get DC.
2. Demodulating an AM signal.
3. Logic- determining when a signal has gone low or high.
4. As a forward voltage drop of about .7V for a voltage reference.
5. And about a hundred more ways.
A copper wire is impervious to direction of flow, so unless the diode is superfluous, then you need a diode.

Still Having Problems With My Alarm!
Fleming's diode?
Did Fleming's diode allow current to flow in only one direction or two?
Thank you!
one
"A century ago, John Ambrose Fleming ushered in the electronic age with the invention of his diode valve, a vacuum tube that allowed electrical current to flow in one direction, but not the other. On 1 July, IEEE President Arthur Winston presented the University College London—where Fleming had been a professor of electrical engineering—with an IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing commemorating Fleming’s diode work."
