MODERN TRENDS IN THE APPLICATION OF CHALCOGENIDE GLASSES IN ELECTRONICS AND RADIO ENGINEERING

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of modern trends in the application of chalcogenide glasses in electronics and radio engineering. Their key physicochemical properties, which enable a wide range of applications in optoelectronic and electronic devices, are considered. Particular attention is paid to their use in phase-change memory, neuromorphic systems, and sensor technologies. The prospects for integrating chalcogenide glasses into photonic structures, especially in the mid-infrared range, are analyzed. The role of erbium ion doping in the development of efficient waveguide optical amplifiers for telecommunication systems is highlighted. The main technological challenges related to thermal stability, material purification, and compatibility with CMOS technologies are outlined. It is concluded that chalcogenide glasses have significant potential as a fundamental material platform for next-generation electronics and radiophotonics.
