Why is the quantization of conductivity more pronounced in semiconductors?

Why is the quantization of conductivity more pronounced in semiconductors? Correct Answer Lower electron density

Nanowires undergo a quantization in energy. This effect is more prominent in semiconductors such as the silicon and GaAs in comparison to metals. The lower electron density and effective mass can be attributed for this prominence in quantization of energy in semiconductors.
