For use in semiconductor physics, with electron and hole densities, named after Siméon Denis Poisson

Defining Formula: $-\mathrm{\nabla }\cdot \left({ϵ}_s\mathrm{\nabla }\psi \right)=q(C+p(\psi ,{\varphi }_p)-n(\psi ,{\varphi }_n))$

$C$ represents doping profile

${ϵ}_s$ represents permittivity

${\varphi }_n$ represents Fermi potential for electrons

${\varphi }_p$ represents Fermi potential for holes

$\psi$ represents electric potential

$n$ represents electron density

$p$ represents hole density

$q$ represents elementary charge
