  The electron and phonon temperature distribution function are calculated in
semiconductors. We solved the coupled one-dimensional heat-diffussion equations
in the linear approximation in which the physical parameters on the sample are
independent of the temperature. We also consider the heat flux at the surface
of the semiconductor as a boundary condition for each electron and phonon
systems instead of using a fixed temperature. From this, we obtain an
expression for electron and phonon temperature respectively. The
characterization of the thermal waves properties is duscussed and some
practical procedures for this purpose provide us information about the electron
and phonon thermal parameters.
