For semi conductor to have negative temperature coefficient of resistance implies that
The temperature coefficient of resistance is given by
α = \(\frac{\text{Increase in resistance per ºC rise in temp}}{\text{resistance at 0ºC}}\)
And for metals where resistance increases with temperature rise, the temperature coefficient of resistance is positive; on the other hand, in semiconductors, where resistance decreases with temperature rise, the temperature coefficient of resistance is negative.
