Abstract
In this paper, an artificial neural network trained by experimental data has been used to predict the values of the band gap and
melting point of IIIV, IIVI binary and IIIIVI2, IIIV V2 ternary compound semiconductors. The calculated results were
in good agreement with the experimental ones. 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction
2. Calculation
An ANN has many interconnected processing elements (neurons) [5,7]. It is a powerful tool for extracting hidden and useful information directly from a vast
amount of experimental data, and especially useful for
resolving some problems of non-linear and complicated systems.
The ANN of this paper was composed of three
layers: an input layer, a hidden layer and an output
layer. Fig. 1 shows such a typical three-layered neural
network.
In Fig. 1, m, p and q are the neurons of input,
hidden and output layer, respectively. A k is the kth
input pattern and Y k the kth objective output pattern.
The wij and 6jt are the weight factors.
As ANN is working, each neuron of the hidden
layer takes weighted inputs from the neurons of the
input layer and forms the sum. Then, a net input is
obtained by adding an internal threshold value (u) to
the sum (sj )
