| Abstract | We study the existence and the asymptotic stability of time-periodic solutions to the driftdiffusion model for semiconductors. If alternating-current voltage is applied to PN-junction diodes, a time-periodic current flow is observed. The main purpose of the present paper is mathematical analysis on this periodic flow. We construct a time-periodic solution by utilizing the Galerkin method. The solution is unique in a neighborhood of a thermal equilibrium, and it is globally stable. Proofs of the uniqueness and the stability are based on the energy method
employing an energy form.
