Abstract

In this work, we investigate the forward current-voltage characteristics of p-type Ti/Au/Al0.29Ga0.71As Schottky diode, which were measured over a range of temperatures from 260 to 400 K. The experimental current-voltage characteristics are used to extract the Schottky diode main electrical parameters such as ideality factor, saturation current, height barrier, and series resistance. The parameters extraction has been reached using the best-so-far Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. ABC is an optimization technique, which is used in finding the best solution from all feasible solutions. The efficiency of this method has been assessed using current-voltage characteristics obtained over wide range of temperatures. The accuracy of the best-so-far ABC algorithm is compared to two well-known analytical methods called Cheung and standard. Extracted diode parameters from different methods show that best results are obtained by the suggested method.
