Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first memory layer oriented in a first planar orientation, a second memory layer oriented in a second planar orientation, a third memory layer oriented in the first planar orientation; and a connector that is connected to the first memory layer at an electrical contact of the first memory layer and to the third memory layer at an electrical contact of the third memory layer, where the connector is unconnected to the second memory layer. At least one of the electrical contact of the first memory layer and the electrical contact of the third memory layer comprises a through-layer via. The second planar orientation is angularly offset a predetermined number of degrees from the first planar orientation.
