A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided for the semi-automatic extraction of an ideality factor of a diode. Traditionally, current/voltage curves for diodes, which provided a basis for extrapolating the ideality factors, had to be determined by hand. By employing a thermal voltage proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) generator in conjunction with an extraction mechanism, the ideality factor can be extracted in an semi-automatic manner. Therefore, a reliable, quick, and less expensive device can be employed to improve measurements of ideality factors.
