A finite element method based on the least-squares scheme is developed for hydrodynamicsimulation of two-dimensional short-channel semiconductor devices. Althoughthis general-purpose finite element method has been shown in fluid dynamics to be moreuniversal to flow problems than other finite element approaches and has been applied inrecent years to a wide range of problems in fluid dynamics, it is still unfamiliar to thesemiconductor device community. Application of the developed hydrodynamic leastsquares finite element method (LSFEM) to simulation of a 2D MESFET with a deep-submicrongate has demonstrated its robustness and effectiveness for the hydrodynamicdevice simulation
