Abstract
Band models previously applied to off‐state chalcogenide‐glass/crystalline Si heterojunctions are shown to be applicable to these devices after the threshold‐type glass is switched into the on state. In addition, it appears that the on state can be maintained by the injection of electrons from the amorphous semiconductor into n‐type Si, contrary to some double‐injection models for threshold switching.Keywords
