Se films exhibited high conductance, i.e., metallic behavior, due to spontaneously ionized defects. Semiconducting/insulating films are of practical importance in broad applications based on low-power, high-performance electronics, the existence of which lacks firm evidence. Here, we synthesized highly insulating films in a controlled way, which exhibit semiconducting behavior with channel resistance up to 1 TΩ. The electron chemical potential lies within the band gap, in some cases, even below the charge neutrality level, signifying the trace of hole-type semiconducting. The performance of insulating devices remains high, comparable to high-quality devices previously. Especially, the threshold voltage (
