Abstract: We study the branch of semi-stable and unstable solutions (i.e., those whose Morse index is at most one) of the Dirichlet boundary value problem $-Deltau=fraclambdaf(x)(1-u{)}^2$ on a bounded domain $Omegasubset{R}^N$, which models --among other things-- a simple electrostatic Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMS) device. We extend the results of [11] relating to the minimal branch, by obtaining compactness along unstable branches for $1leqNleq7$ on any domain $Omega$ and for a large class of "permittivity profiles" $f$ . We also show the remarkable fact that power-like profiles $f(x)simeq|x{|}^{a}lpha$ can push back the critical dimension N=7 of this problem, by establishing compactness for the semi-stable branch on the unit ball, also for $Ngeq8$ and as long as $alpha>alph{a}_N=frac3N-14-4sqrt64+2sqrt6$ . As a byproduct, we are able to follow the second branch of the bifurcation diagram and prove the existence of a second solution for $lambda$ in a natural range. In all these results, the conditions on the space-dimension and on the power of the profile are essentially sharp.
