Abstract
A three dimensional multilayer circuit includes a via array made up of a set of first vias and a set of second vias and an area distributed CMOS layer configured to selectively address said first vias and said second vias. At least two crossbar arrays overlay the area distributed CMOS layer. These crossbar arrays include a plurality of intersecting crossbar segments and programmable crosspoint devices which are interposed between the intersecting crossbar segments. The vias are connected to the crossbar segments such that each programmable crosspoint devices can be uniquely accessed using a first via and a second via.
