Abstract
An interconnection architecture for multilayer circuits includes metal-insulator transition channels interposed between address leads and each bar in the multilayer circuit. An extrinsic variable transducer selectively transitions the metal-insulator channels between insulating and conducting states to selectively connect and disconnect the bars and the address leads. A method for accessing a programmable crosspoint device within a multilayer crossbar circuit is also provided.
