Predictor-corrector continuation methods for characterizing the voltage- current behavior of semiconductor devices are presented. The basic equations are discretized taking into account a nonrectangular spatial domain. A coarse grid is first constructed. This coarse grid is then refined, using a triangule subdivision, based on gradients in the doping profile. The equations are discretized using a generalization of the \textit{Scharfetter} and \textit{Gummel} upwinding scheme [IEEE Trans. Electr. Dev. ED-6, 64-77 (1969)]. Numerical results are included concerning CMOS structures but the methods are applicable and to other semiconductor devices.
