Answer:

Non degenerate semiconductors are those which:
-are lightly doped
-have less value of electron and hole concentration
-violate Pauli's exclusion principle
Degenerate semiconductors are those which:
-are highly doped
-have high value of electron and hole concentration
-follow Pauli's exclusion principle
