This book presents a hierarchy of macroscopic models for semiconductor devices, studying three classes of models in detail: isentropic drift-diffusion equations, energy-transport models, and quantum hydrodynamic equations. The derivation of each, including physical discussions, is shown. Numerical simulations for modern semiconductor devices are performed, showing the particular features of each. The author develops modern analytical techniques, such as positive solution methods, local energy methods for free-boundary problems and entropy methods.
