    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to demultiplexers that include tunneling resistor nanowire junctions, and to nanowire addressing methods for reliably addressing nanowire signal lines in nanoscale and mixed-scale demultiplexers. In one embodimentof the present invention, an encoder-demulriplexer comprises a number of input signal lines and an encoder (1304) that generates an n-bit-constant-weight-code code-word internal address (1320, 1506, 1704) for each different input address (1318, 1702) received on the input signal lines. The encoder-demultiplexer also includes n microscale signal lines (1306-1311) on which an n-bit-constant-weight-code code word internal address is out put by the encoder and a number of encoder-demultiplexer-addressed nanowire signal lines interconnected with the n microscale signal lines (1306-1311) via tunneling resistor junctions, the encoder-demultiplexer-addressed nanowire signal lines each associated with an n-bit-constant-weight-code code-word internal adress (1320, 1506, 1704).

    摘要: A computer readable memory includes a circuit layer, a multilayer memory stacked over the circuit layer to form a memory box, the memory box comprising a bottom surface interfacing with the circuit layer and four side surfaces, and a first switching crossbar array disposed on a first side of the memory box. A plurality of vias connects the circuit layer to the first switching crossbar layer. The first switching crossbar array accepts signals from the plurality of vias and selectively connects a crossbar in the multilayer memory to the circuit layer. A method for addressing multilayer memory is also provided.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention is a method for constructing defect-and-failure-tolerant demultiplexers (figures 14 an 16). This method is applicable to nanoscale, microscal, or larger-scale demultiplexer circuits,. Demultiplexer circuits can be viewed as a set of AND gates (figures 9A-B), each including a reversibly switchable interconnection between a number of address lines (910-912 and 920-922), or address-line-derived signal lines, and an output signal line (914 and 924). Each reversibly switchable interconnection includes one ot more reversibly switchable elements (906-908 and 916-918). In certain demultiplexer embodiments, NMOS (102) and/or PMOS transistors (206) are employed as reversibly switchable elements. In the method that representd one embodiment of the present invention, two or more serially connected transistors (410, 412, and 411, 413; 1502) are employed in each reversibly switchable interconnection, so that short defects in up to one less then the number of serially interconnected transistors does not lead to failure of the reversibly switchable interconnection. In addition, error-control-encoding techniques are used to introduce additional address-line-derived signal lines (1602, 1604) and additional switchable interconnections (1610) so that the demultiplexer may function even when a number of individual, switchable interconnections are open-defective.
