The properties of silicon and germanium are found here. The resistivity is markedly different between the two. The linked page has a poor choice of words, writing "good conductors" without defining the meaning of good and talking about semiconductors when using the word conductors. A "good semiconductor" doesn't prioritize properties in the same way as a "good conductor" does.
