<abstract>We study the drift-diffusion system arising in the semiconductor device simulation and the plasma physics. We consider the initial value problem for this system and derive the optimal $L^p$ decay estimate of solutions by applying the time weighted $L^p$ energy method. Furthermore, we show that the solutions approach the corresponding heat kernels as time tends to infinity. This asymptotic result is based on the optimal $L^p-L^q$ decay estimate for the linearized problem.</abstract>
