Abstract/Summary:
A computer program models the electrical and thermal activity and the crystallization dynamics of small geometry, high crystallization speed, pseudobinary alloy chalcogenide switches. The results are compared with data taken on existing devices to verify the model. The model is then used to optimize the properties of switching devices and explore the limits of their capabilities which are compared with competing switching and memory technologies.
