To account for self-heating effects in semiconductor devices,
the lattice heat flow equation has to be solved.

are the mass density, specific heat, and thermal
conductivity of the respective materials.
The model for the heat generation, , depends on the transport model
employed. In the drift-diffusion case equals the JOULE heat,
