Contacts Between Chalcogenide Glasses, Metals and Semiconductors
Abstract
The two main purposes of the research here described are to elucidate the mechanism of threshold switching and to explore new possibilities through the use of contact materials which can be electronically altered in situ. In pursuit of these objectives, four lines of research have been followed. They are concerned with the nature of the ON-state, the effect of semiconductor electrodes and contact asymmetry on the switching process, The statistical nature of threshold switching, and scaling problems, i.e. the variation of switching parameters with thickness of the chalcogenide glass film.
