Short answer, probably not.

The chemical potential is assumed to be constant once you reach the electrodes - not really consistent with the band bending of semiconductors.

If you can use some tricks to move the fermi level out of the gap and use a very large central region(only doable for interface studies) then...maybe. But be very careful with checking convergence with size.

Hi dear users
Can we use semiconductor electrodes in transport calculation?
