Abstract

Chalcogenide-based nanowire memories are implemented using a variety of methods and devices. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a method of manufacturing a memory circuit is implemented. The method includes depositing nanoparticles at locations on a substrate. Chalcogenide-based nanowires are created at the locations on the substrate using a vapor-liquid-solid technique. Insulating material is deposited between the chalcogenide-based nanowires. Lines are created to connect at least some of the chalcogenide-based nanowires.
