Radial Addressing of Nanowires JOHN E. SAVAGE and ERIC RACHLIN Brown University ´ ANDRE DEHON California Institute of Technology and CHARLES M. LIEBER and YUE WU Harvard University We introduce radial encoding of nanowires (NWs), a new method of differentiating and controlling NWs by a small set of mesoscale wires for use in crossbar memories. We describe methods of controlling these NWs and give ef cient manufacturing algorithms. These new encoding and decoding methods do not suffer from the misalignment characteristic of ow-aligned NWs. They achieve comparable effective pitch and resulting memory density with axially encoded NWs, while avoiding potential cases of address ambiguity and simplifying NW preparation. We also explore hybrid axial/radial encodings and show that they offer no net bene t over pure codes. Categories and Subject Descriptors: B.3.m [Memory Structures]: Miscellaneous; C.5.m [Computer Systems Implementation]: Miscellaneous General Terms: Design, Performance Additional Key Words and Phrases: Addressing schemes, core-shell nanowires, nanotechnology, nanowire crossbars 1. INTRODUCTION Scientists have developed methods for growing nanowires (NWs) and carbon nanotubes (NTs) whose diameters are on the order of a few nanometers (a few molecular diameters) [Dekker 1999; Cui et al. 2001; Morales and Lieber 1998; Melosh et al. 2003; Johnston-Halperin
