Abstract

Various aspects relate to a threshold switch structure and a use of such threshold switch structure as a threshold switch in a memory cell arrangement, the threshold switch structure including: a first electrode, a second electrode, a switch element in direct physical contact with the first electrode and the second electrode, the switch element including a layer of a spontaneously polarizable material. The first electrode, the second electrode, and the switch element are configured to allow for a switching of the switch element between a first electrical conductance state and a second electrical conductance state as a function of a voltage drop provided over the switch element by the first electrode and the second electrode.
