Abstract
The parameters of a general distribution function of carriers in semiconductors are determined by imposing some constraints on the total energy of the system of carriers. The correlation between these parameters indicates that both the temperature and the Fermi level of carriers must change with the applied field in order that the total energy of carriers assumes a stationary value. An expression for the drift velocity of carriers in degenerate semiconductors in terms of these parameters is given.
