Those parameters include the reverse saturation current (I<sub>s</sub>), the ideality factor (n), the series and the shunt resistances (R<sub>s</sub> and R<sub>sh</sub>), the effective and the zero bias barrier heights (Φ<sub>B</sub> and Φ<sub>B0</sub>), the product of the electrical active area (A) and the effective Richardson constant (A**), the built-in potential (V<sub>bi</sub>), together with the semiconductor doping concentration (N<sub>A</sub> or N<sub>D</sub>). Some of them have been extracted by using two or three different methods. The main features of each approach have been clearly stated. From one parameter to another, results have been discussed in terms of structure performance, comparison on one another when extracted from different methods, accordance or discordance with data from other works, and parameter’s temperature or voltage dependence. A comparison of results on Φ<sub>B</sub>, ΦB0</sub>, n and N<sub>A</sub> or N<sub>D</sub> parameters with some available data in literature for the same parameters, has especially led to clear propositions on the identity of the analyzed SBD’s metal and semiconductor-type.展开更多

To mitigate this challenging task a novel approach using Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) for accurate extraction of PV model parameters is proposed in this paper. GSA is a population based heuristic optimization method which depends on the law of gravity and mass interactions. In this optimization method, the searcher agents are collection of masses which interact with each other using laws of gravity and motion of Newton. The developed PV model utilizes mathematical equations and is described through an equivalent circuit model comprising of a current source, a diode, a series resistor and a shunt resistor including the effect of changes in solar irradiation and ambient temperature. The optimal values of photo-current, diode ideality factor, series resistance and shunt resistance of the developed PV model are obtained by using GSA. The simulations of the characteristic curves of PV modules (SM55, ST36 and ST40) are carried out using MATLAB/Simulink environment. Results obtained using GSA are compared with Differential Evolution (DE), which shows that GSA based parameters are better optimal when compared to DE.展开更多

Based on the current transport model, a simple method to extract parameters of the NiGe/Ge diode is presented by using the I-V characteristics. Parameters of NiGe/n-type Ge Schottky diodes fabricated for testing in this paper are as follows： the ideality factor n, the series resistance Rs, the zero-field barrier height Фb0, the interface state density Dit, and the interracial layer capacitance Ci. It is found that the ideality factor n of the diode increases with the increase of annealing temperature. As the temperature increases, the interface defects from the sputtering damage and the penetration of metallic states into the Ge energy gap are passivated, thus improving the junction quality. However, the undesirable crystallisations of Ni-germanide are observed together with NiGe at a temperature higher than 400℃. Depositing a very thin （-1 nm） heavily Ge-doped n＋ Ge intermediate layer can improve the NiGe film morphology significantly.展开更多

This method is the faster technique which allows the identification of several parameters and can be used in real time applications. The results of the proposed method show an accordance with the experimental and simulated characteristics of photovoltaic generator.展开更多
