Exact Maximum Entropy Closure of the Hydrodynamical Model for Si Semiconductors: The 8-Moment Case

An exact closure is obtained of the 8-moment model for semiconductors based on the maximum entropy principle in the case of silicon semiconductors. The validity of the model is assessed, and comparisons with an approximate closure are presented and discussed.
