We study the size dependence of thermal conductivity in nanoscale semiconducting systems. An analytical formula including the surface scattering and the size confinement effects of phonon transport is derived. The theoretical formula gives good agreements with the existing experimental data for Si and $\mathrm{GaAs}$ nanowires and thin films.
