THREE-DIMENSIONAL CROSSBAR ARRAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WRITING INFORMATION TO AND READING INFORMATION STORED IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL CROSSBAR ARRAY JUNCTIONS

摘要

The various embodiments of the present invention relates to a three-dimensional crossbar array (500, 1000). In an aspect of the present invention, three-dimensional crossbar array 1000 includes a plurality of crossbar arrays (1102-1104), the first de-multiplexer 1106, and a second demultiplexer (1108) and third de-multiplexer 1110. Each crossbar array nano wires of the first layer (702-704), the nano-wires of the second layer overlying the nanowires of the first layer (706-708), and overlaying the first nanowire of the second layer include nanowires of (710-712) a three-layer. A first de-multiplexer is configured to address nanowires within the nanowire of the first layer of each crossbar array, a second de-multiplexer is configured to address nanowires within the nanowire of the second layer of each crossbar array, and second The three de-multiplexer is configured to supply a signal to the nanowire in the nanowire in the third layer of each crossbar array.
