This is a Tesla Valve. It works by diverting liquid or gas back on itself when it is flown in one direction and allowing a smooth flow in the other direction.
Can the same concept be used to create a semiconductor? Why?

No. The design of the Tesla valve requires a material which has inertia (so that the "slanted" paths are preferred for backflow), and which behaves as a viscous fluid (so that the pressure of the reversed backflows can obstruct forward flow). Neither of these is applicable to the movement of electrons within a conductor.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
I'd agree on the absence of viscosity for electrons, though their inertia is real enough. Surface tension and molecular attraction (not the apparently similar Coanda effect) are required for the fluid to stick to the inclined walls, also absent from electrons.

Well, if you take the top level concept of the Tesla Valve as "a magical thing that lets flow go in one direction but not the other" then you have a diode, either semiconductor or thermionic. I doubt that's what the OP meant, however.
