Review text

This paper discusses an optimal shape design problem which appears in semiconductor device physics. The problem is transformed into an equivalent variational inequality one. Optimal control methods are used to show the existence of a solution for the variational problem and for the approximate problem. Newton's method is proposed for solving the discretized problem. An example with experimental results is given.
