An Optimal Control Approach to Semiconductor Design

The design problem for semiconductor devices is studied via an optimal control approach for the standard drift diffusion model. The solvability of the minimization problem is proved. The first--order optimality system is derived and the existence of Lagrange--multipliers is established. Further, estimates on the sensitivities are given. Numerical results concerning a symmetric n--p--diode are presented.
