ABSTRACT:
A switching device having as the active switching element a material with a band gap between 0.6 and 1.2 eV and a mean coordination number of 4. These parameters provide a material having a glass transition temperature that is relatively high such that the material is resistant to devitrification. Amorphous (a-) CdAs.sub.2 is the most promising active switching material having the parameters, and a method of making thin films of a-CdAs.sub.2 by open source evaporation is disclosed.
