In this paper new error estimates for an explicit finite element method for numerically solving the so-called zero-diffusion unipolar model (a one-dimensional simplified version of the drift-diffusion semiconductor device equations) are obtained. The method, studied in a previous paper, combines a mixed finite element method using a continuous piecewise-linear approximation of the electric field, with an explicit upwinding finite element method using a piecewise-constant approximation of the electron concentration. By using a suitable extension of Kuznetsov approximation theory for scalar conservation laws, it is proved that, under proper hypotheses on the data, the      L ∞  ( L 1 ) {L^\infty }({L^1})      -error between the approximate and exact electron concentrations of the zero-diffusion unipolar model is of order      Δ  x 1 / 2 \Delta {x^{1/2}}      . These estimates are sharp.
