An Approximation of Three-Dimensional Semiconductor Devices by Mixed Finite Element Method and Characteristics-Mixed Finite Element Method

The mathematical model for semiconductor devices in three space dimensions are numerically discretized. The system consists of three quasi-linear partial differential equations about three physical variables: the electrostatic potential, the electron concentration and the hole concentration. We use standard mixed finite element method to approximate the elliptic electrostatic potential equation. For the two convection-dominated concentration equations, a characteristics-mixed finite element method is presented. The scheme is locally conservative. The optimal $L^2$-norm error estimates are derived by the aid of a post-processing step. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.

The electron and hole density equations are treated by implicit-explicitmultistep finite element methods. The schemes are very efficient. The optimal order errorestimates both in time and space are derived.

Explicit-implicit schemes for convection-diffusion-reaction problems

Boundary value problems for time-dependent convection-diffusion-reaction equations are basic models of problems in continuum mechanics. To study these problems, various numerical methods are used. With a finite difference, finite element, or finite volume approximation in space, we arrive at a Cauchy problem for systems of ordinary differential equations whose operator is asymmetric and indefinite. Explicit-implicit approximations in time are conventionally used to construct splitting schemes in terms of physical processes with separation of convection, diffusion, and reaction processes. In this paper, unconditionally stable schemes for unsteady convection-diffusion-reaction equations are constructed with explicit-implicit approximations used in splitting the operator reaction. The schemes are illustrated by a model 2D problem in a rectangle.     

A Survey of High Order Schemes for the Shallow Water Equations

In this paper, we survey our recent work on designing high order positivity-preserving well-balanced finite difference and finite volume WENO (weighted essentially non-oscillatory) schemes, and discontinuous Galerkin finite element schemes for solving the shallow water equations with a non-flat bottom topography. These schemes are genuinely high order accurate in smooth regions for general solutions, are essentially non-oscillatory for general solutions with discontinuities, and at the same time they preserve exactly the water at rest or the more general moving water steady state solutions. A simple positivity-preserving limiter, valid under suitable CFL condition, has been introduced in one dimension and reformulated to two dimensions with triangular meshes, and we prove that the resulting schemes guarantee the positivity of the water depth.     

Numerical Model for Electro-Mechanical Analysis Based on Finite Element Method

In this paper, we present a numerical procedure that can be used to model the electro-mechanical coupled behavior of the dielectric actuator domain. The equation describing the electrostatical part is given by the reduced form of the Maxwell equation and the electrostatic potential [1]. The mechanical problem is described by the constitutive equations and equilibrium equations. Using the finite element method, this technique is to divide a whole problem into sub-problems. The complexity of the original problem is therefore reduced by focusing only on the most relevant areas. A finite element analysis is then performed by applying the electrostatic Maxwell pressure as Neumann boundary conditions to compute the displacements. Once the displacement is computed, the electrostatic domain or the conductor is updated. Electrostatic analysis is performed on the updated geometry and the finite element method is then used to determine the change in potential due to geometric perturbations. Once the surface charge densities are known, the new electrostatic Maxwell pressure is computed. The mechanical and electrostatic analysis is repeated until an equilibrium state is computed. The procedure is demonstrated in the paper by the solution of some two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems. (© 2013 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Two‐grid mixed finite‐element methods for nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Two‐grid mixed finite element schemes are developed for solving both steady state and unsteady state nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The schemes use discretizations based on a mixed finite‐element method. The two‐grid approach yields iterative procedures for solving the nonlinear discrete equations. The idea is to relegate all of the Newton‐like iterations to grids much coarser than the final one, with no loss in order of accuracy. Numerical tests are performed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Metodi misti di exponential fitting per le equazioni di continuita' della corrente

We present an overview of results obtained for the numerical treatment of the current continuity equations arising in the drift-diffusion model for semiconductor devices. In particular, two mixed finite element schemes are discussed. Together with the good features of already known mixed schemes (current preservation and good approximation of sharp shapes) they provideM-matrices, even when a zero order term is present in the equations.     

Development and Analysis of Higher Order Finite Volume Methods over Rectangles for Elliptic Equations

Currently used finite volume methods are essentially low order methods. In this paper, we present a systematic way to derive higher order finite volume schemes from higher order mixed finite element methods. Mostly for convenience but sometimes from necessity, our procedure starts from the hybridization of the mixed method. It then approximates the inner product of vector functions by an appropriate, critical quadrature rule; this allows the elimination of the flux and Lagrange multiplier parameters so as to obtain equations in the scalar variable, which will define the finite volume method. Following this derivation with different mixed finite element spaces leads to a variety of finite volume schemes. In particular, we restrict ourselves to finite volume methods posed over rectangular partitions and begin by studying an efficient second-order finite volume method based on the Brezzi–Douglas–Fortin–Marini space of index two. Then, we present a general global analysis of the difference between the solution of the underlying mixed finite element method and its related finite volume method. Then, we derive finite volume methods of all orders from the Raviart–Thomas two-dimensional rectangular elements; we also find finite volume methods to associate with BDFM ₂ three-dimensional rectangles. In each case, we obtain optimal error estimates for both the scalar variable and the recovered flux.     

A finite‐volume scheme for the multidimensional quantum drift‐diffusion model for semiconductors

A finite‐volume scheme for the stationary unipolar quantum drift‐diffusion equations for semiconductors in several space dimensions is analyzed. The model consists of a fourth‐order elliptic equation for the electron density, coupled to the Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential, with mixed Dirichlet‐Neumann boundary conditions. The numerical scheme is based on a Scharfetter‐Gummel type reformulation of the equations. The existence of a sequence of solutions to the discrete problem and its numerical convergence to a solution to the continuous model are shown. Moreover, some numerical examples in two space dimensions are presented. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 27: 1483–1510, 2011     

Finite Volume Element Methods for Two-Dimensional Three-Temperature Radiation Diffusion Equations

Two-dimensional three-temperature (2-D 3-T) radiation diffusion equations are widely used to approximately describe the evolution of radiation energy within a multi-material system and explain the exchange of energy among electrons, ions and photons. Their highly nonlinear, strong discontinuous and tightly coupled phenomena always make the numerical solution of such equations extremely challenging. In this paper, we construct two finite volume element schemes both satisfying the discrete conservation property. One of them can well preserve the positivity of analytical solutions, while the other one does not satisfy this property. To fix this defect, two as repair techniques are designed. In addition, as the numerical simulation of 2-D 3-T equations is very time consuming, we also devise a mesh adaptation algorithm to reduce the cost. Numerical results show that these new methods are practical and efficient in solving this kind of problems.
