The Principal Investigator proposes to carry out new mathematical               analyses of the basic nonlinear partial differential equations and              boundary conditions, that define the operation of a large class of VLSI         semiconductor devices.  The Principal Investigator proposes to utilize          state of the art advances in the theory of nonlinear partial                    differential equations to create and analyze new procedures to handle           problems in both two and (short channel) three spatial dimensions in            device design without leading to the usual numerical divergences of             conventional algorithms.  Moreover, the Principal Investigator proposes         to investigate analytically several new important effects that appear           as the miniaturization process proceeds to chips at the submicron level         (e.g. electronic instabilities, and parameter dependence), which seems          to lead to bifurcation phenomena.
