Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to three-dimensional crossbar arrays. In one aspect of the present invention, a three-dimensional crossbar array includes a plurality of crossbar arrays, a first demultiplexer, a second demultiplexer, and a third demultiplexer. Each crossbar array includes a first layer of nanowires, a second layer of nanowires overlaying the first layer of nanowires, and a third layer of nanowires overlaying the second layer of nanowires. The first demultiplexer is configured to address nanowires in the first layer of nanowires of each crossbar array, the second demultiplexer is configured to address nanowires in the second layer of nanowires of each crossbar array, and the third demultiplexer is configured to supply a signal to the nanowires in the third layer of nanowires of each crossbar array.
