We discuss the combined semi-classical and relaxation limit of a one-dimensional isentropic quantum hydrodynamical model for semiconductors. The quantum hydrodynamic equations consist of the isentropic Euler equations for the particle density and current density, including the quantum potential and a momentum relaxation term. The momentum equation is highly nonlinear and contains a dispersive term with third-order derivatives. The equations are self-consistently coupled to the Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential. With the help of the Maxwell-type iteration, we prove that, as the relaxation time and Planck constant tend to zero, periodic initial-value problems of a scaled one-dimensional isentropic quantum hydrodynamic model have unique smooth solutions existing in the time interval where the classical drift-diffusion model has smooth solutions. Meanwhile, we justify a formal derivation of the classical drift-diffusion model from the quantum hydrodynamic model.

This paper discusses a time global existence, asymptotic behavior and a singular limit of a solution to the initial boundary value problem for a quantum drift-diffusion model of semiconductors over a one-dimensional bounded domain. Firstly, we show a unique existence and an asymptotic stability of a stationary solution for the model. Secondly, it is shown that the time global solution for the quantum drift-diffusion model converges to that for a drift-diffusion model as the scaled Planck constant tends to zero. This singular limit is called a classical limit. Here these theorems allow the initial data to be arbitrarily large in the suitable Sobolev space. We prove them by applying an energy method.
