No convergence - Unless I use a constant

Hi everyone,
I need help with this transistor model I'm working on. I have defined Electrostatics and Transport of Diluted Species. I'm trying to define Space Charge Density for the electrostatics in several subdomains of the transistor to be:
Rho = {-Electron_Concentration * Elementary_Charge}.
Electron_Concentration is the Dependent Variable coming from Transport of Diluted Species. Unless I change the above equation to:
Rho = {-SomeConstantHere * Elementary_Charge}
Then I got this error: "Failed to converge, even when using minimum damping factor."
Using the constant works, but I would like to have a working version with the correct Dependent Variable of electron concentration.
How can I get it done? Should I try Linear Extrusion? Thanks! :)

I had the same problem, but I use the space charge density of an electrolyte so my function looks a bit different.
Did you make sure that the electron concentration has the same variable name in both physics?
