The transient semiconductor problem with generation terms, II

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1394)

Abstract

We consider a modified time-dependent van Roosbroeck system with saturating velocities and a source term subject to assumptions designed to permit a standard generation term corresponding to impact ionization. This is then a nonlinear parabolic system with a right hand side of the form S = S(., u, Δu, ɛ), coupled with the map L : uɛ defined by the Poisson equation at each t. The analysis leads to existence of solutions for all time as well as uniqueness (and continuous dependence on data) under stronger conditions.

Keywords

  • Poisson Equation
  • Lipschitz Condition
  • Principal Estimate
  • Saturate Velocity
  • Contractive Mapping Theorem

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
