We investigate satisfactorily the possible, under certain circumstances, fermionic nature of excitons in both parabolic and non-parabolic semiconductors. In this context, we discuss some key aspects dealing, on the one hand, with Fermi velocity and, on the other hand, with the particle-in-abox model. These aspects are discussed in the light of the role of excitons as bosons or fermions. Our investigation has a, say, a practical character so we may say that the method utilized here is more intuitive for the reader than some work published in the current literature.

Excitons, parabolic semiconductors, non-parabolic semiconductors, bosons, fermions.
