Proper Capacitance Modeling for Devices with Distributed Space Charge

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Institute of Amorphous Studies Series ((IASS))

Abstract

The present paper derives from our previous work (1–3) on modeling the time dependence of ovonic threshold switches (OTS), and DIACS (4). It is also related to our analysis (5–8) of one carrier, space-charge controlled conduction in metal-insulator metal (MIM) structures.
