The drift-diffusion system describes the semi-classical transport of free electrons and holes in a self-consistent electric field using a drift-diffusion approximation. It became the standard model to describe the current flow in semiconductor devices such as diodes, transistors, LEDs, solar cells and lasers, as well as quantum nanostructures and organic semiconductors.

Semiconductor drift-diffusion models are closely related to reaction–diffusion systems and Poisson–Nernst–Planck models. The latter are used in biological applications to model electro-diffusive ion transport through ion channels across cell membranes.
