In this study, a numerical theory based on space charge overlapping model and experiments on the propriety of its theory were carried out to analyze the switching transient characteristic in amorphous coalcogenide thin film. Theoretical and experimental as well as analytical investigations were carried out on the switching behaviour in a transient state arising from a voltage pulse applied to amorphous chalcogenide thin films at room temperature. The results can be explained in terms ot a simple theoretical model of the electronic characteristics of switching. The injection of carriers are necessary to initiate the switching action and injected carriers contribute to the current flow as a space-charge limited current(SCLC) The proposed charge controlled switching characteristics can be explained by double injection space charge overlapping model.
