    In this paper a numerical algorithm for semiconductor drift-diffusion equations is constructed provided that the positivity of the particle densities is kept (the so-called positivity preserving discretization). The paper is interesting but numerical results for a one-dimensional \(pn\)-diode are in some sense not illustrative. On the other hand, the reviewer supposes that while calculating stationary regimes for drift-diffusion equations with the use of stabilization methods, the so-called methods without saturation are preferable since they take into account the smoothness of the sought stationary solution whereas the method in the paper is not able to do that.
