Abstract
A chalcogenide material is proposed for programming the cross-connect transistor coupling interconnect lines of an electrically programmable matrix array. Leakage may be reduced by optionally placing a thin insulating breakdown layer in series with the select device or a phase change material. The matrix array may be used in a programmable logic device.
