Insulator Example - diamond
Difference between insulator and semiconductor is that the forbidden energy gap is 1.1 eV in case of semiconductor (silicon), whereas forbidden energy gap of insulator is very i.e. 7 eV (diamond).
n’ type semiconductor can be obtained from a pure crystal of germanium by adding pentavalent impurity atom such as antimony, phosphorus or arsenic.
