Zusammenfassung:The high current switching characteristics of the thin-film Ovonic Threshold Switch (OTS) offer unique advantages in modern applications. This paper covers the current theoretical understanding of the OTS switching process and highlights relevant material and device data. The paper discusses various modern applications of the OTS and OTS integration as a two terminal memory select element applicable for both PCM and RRAM. Also, a novel 3 terminal OTS device is discussed as well as other OTS application as they apply to switching and logic circuits.
