Silicon isn't a conductor, it's a semiconductor. Also conductivity is dependent on temperature, hot stuff usually conducts easier, though some things conduct easier when they are colder. Even at the low voltage it's more complicated than "Conductors" and "Insulators" we learn in those ultra basic electronics guides online (or in school if you're lucky).

Hot stuff always conducts. As in plasma.

Except superconductors often conduct better when they are cold (unfortunately, would be nice if a room temperature one was found but probably isn't going to happen).
