An accurate method of parameter estimation for the mathematical
modeling of semiconductors using the Ebers-Moll equations is
presented. Its usefulness is apparent in estimating parameters
to be used in computer circuit-analysis programs that have been
developed. The Ebers-Moll models were modified to better
represent the actual characteristics. The least-square-error
methods presented for estimating the parameters are easy to program
to the digital computer and result in parameters that are
quite accurate in describing the actual characteristics. This
procedure yields solutions for parameters that are quite helpful
to the engineer in solving electrical circuits involving p-n
diodes and junction transistors.http://www.archive.org/details/parameterestimat00crumLieutenant, United States NavyApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited
