 The defect arises when some of the ions of the lattice occupy interstitial sites leaving lattice
sites vacant is known as Frenkel defect. This defect is generally found in ionic crystals where anion is much larger in size than the cation.
E.g. AgBr, ZnS etc.
  Due to this defect density does not change.
 
The solids having conductivities in the intermediate range from 10-6 to 104 ohm-1 m-1 is
called Semiconductors. The conductivity of a semi conductor increases with rise in the temperature
because electrons from the valence band jump to conduction band.
E.g.; Silicon, Germanium.

The Frenkel defect is a type of defect shown by crystalline solids. It consists in the displacement of an atom from its lattice position to an interstitial site, creating a vacancy at the original site and an interstitial defect at the new location.
example: ZnS,AgBr.
semi conductor : A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others, making it a good medium for the control of electrical current.
example : Si,Ge.

Srinivas, The Frenkel Defect is a defect in the lattice crystal where an atom or ion occupies a normally vacant site other than its own.
