Qualitative Analysis of Hydrodynamical Models of Charge Transport in Semiconductors

For the last decades mathematical simulation of physical phenomena in semiconductor devices becomes an actual and rapidly developing area of applied mathematics. Progress in microelectronic technologies enables constructing semiconductor devices of extremely small size such that simplified analytic models can hardly be used for analysis and design of modern semiconductor devices. The reason is that traditional simplifying assumptions which form the background of such models may be essentially broken in modern components of integral schemes. This book discusses the dynamics in this process.
