Abstract: This paper is concerned with the study of the nonlinear stability of the contact discontinuity of the Navier-Stokes-Poisson system with free boundary in the case where the electron background density satisfies an analogue of the Boltzmann relation. We especially allow that the electric potential can take distinct constant states at boundary. On account of the quasineutral assumption, we first construct a viscous contact wave through the quasineutral Euler equations, and then prove that such a non-trivial profile is time-asymptotically stable under small perturbations for the corresponding initial boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes-Poisson system. The analysis is based on the techniques developed in cite{DL} and an elementary L2 energy method.
