In this paper we derive a new hybrid model for drift diffusion equations. This model provides a description of the quantum phenomena in the parts of the device where they are relevant, and degenerates to a semiclassical model where quantum effects are negligible, so that the system can be considered classically. The study of quantum correction to the equation of state of an electron gas in a semiconductor with the assumption of localized quantum effects leads to a further condition on the classical-quantum interface. Moreover, we prove the existence of weak solutions for our hybrid model. Finally, we present numerical results for different devices, by means of Colsys software.

Abstract
In this paper we derive a new hybrid model for drift diffusion equations. This model provides a description of the quantum phenomena in the parts of the device where they are relevant, and degenerates to a semiclassical model where quantum effects are negligible, so that the system can be considered classically. The study of quantum correction to the equation of state of an electron gas in a semiconductor with the assumption of localized quantum effects leads to a further condition on the classical-quantum interface. Moreover, we prove the existence of weak solutions for our hybrid model. Finally, we present numerical results for different devices, by means of Colsys software.Pubblicazioni consigliate
