This paper is dedicated to study the fully discretized semi implicit and implicit schemes of a 2D parabolic semi linear problem modeling MEMS devices. Starting with the analysis of the semi-implicit scheme, we proved the existence of the discrete solution which converges under certain conditions on the voltage $ \lambda $. On the other hand, we consider a fully implicit scheme, we proved the existence of the discrete solution, which also converges to the stationary solution under certain conditions on the voltage $ \lambda $ and on the time step. Finally, we did some numerical simulations which show the behavior of the solution.

Keywords: Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS), pull-in voltage, 2D semi implicit scheme, 2D implicit scheme, numerical simulations.
