In this paper we present a novel exponentially fitted finite element method with triangular elements for the decoupled continuity equations in the drift-diffusion model of semiconductor devices. The continuous problem is first formulated as a variational problem using a weighted inner product. A Bubnov-Galerkin finite element method with a set of piecewise exponential basis functions is then proposed. The method is shown to be stable and can be regarded as an extension to two dimensions of the well-known Scharfetter-Gummel method. Error estimates for the approximate solution and its associated flux are given. These h-order error bounds depend on some first-order seminorms of the exact solution, the exact flux and the coefficient function of the convection terms. A method is also proposed for the evaluation of terminal currents and it is shown that the computed terminal currents are convergent and conservative. |
