摘要
A threshold switching (TS) event in a binary amorphous GeSe film placed between Pt top and bottom electrodes was examined. This GeSe film exhibits fast (<40 ns) TS behavior. The observed TS of the resistance was found to be accompanied with the TS of the capacitance. A mechanism for the TS of the GeSe film was suggested by revisiting the previous controversy about the thermal versus non-thermal electronic mechanism. The non-thermal electronic mechanism envisaging the double-injection of electronic carriers can qualitatively account for the measured threshold resistive and capacitive switching, whereas the TS behavior simulated using the thermal mechanism is inconsistent with the experimental observation.
