Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method of addressing a particular device in an array, and more particularly to a method of addressing an electronic data storage device or memory. The invention is also related to electronic memory structures. [Prior Art] Although the concept of digital memory is quite simple 'a two-array array in one of two data states, one can make these states individually addressable (and write) data' but very The actual implementation of large-scale memory is not simple. Semiconductor technology has led to several implementations of such memory devices in which the 〇 and 丨 states are achieved by various physical properties. For example, the charge on one of the capacitors in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM); the state of a digital flip-flop in a static random access memory (SRAM); the low of the masked read-only memory (ROM) Resistor and high resistance; UV erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable and programmable read only memory (EEPROM) and flash EEPR0M floating gate transistor array. In such cases, the memory is typically created in a two-dimensional matrix that is addressed by confirming the digital data to the columns and rows of the matrix. The data is read by monitoring a threshold current or voltage to determine whether the previously stored stored element is interpreted as a data bit 〇 or 1. When the device can maintain its write state when the power source is removed, the read memory is non-volatile, such as in the case of EPROM, EEPROM, R〇m, and flash memory. In the field of printed electronics, there are many emerging and competitive non-I53752.doc 201203281 volatile memory candidates and in their most dimensional matrix are addressed by columns and rows, in the most tough form, columns and Each via the external - external "" 仃 仃 。 。 。 。 。 。 。. It must be semiconductor or - semi-conductive semi-conducting sand. However, in this non-volatile memory cell where the addressing scheme requires a large number of mutually χm(Mb), the matrix typically requires 2 drive interconnects. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Addressing can be provided by a method that exceeds a particular device, in accordance with the first aspect of the present invention, providing a threshold-signal addressing-device array comprising the steps of: providing a signal a conductor body, the devices of the array being linked to the signal to input a first signal to a first portion of the conductor, and then inputting a second signal to the conductor after a selected time delay a second portion such that the first signal and the second signal interfere at a location on the conductor corresponding to the particular device, thereby generating more than one threshold of the particular device addressed to the conductor at the location A signal 0 may be addressed to any of a number (possibly thousands or millions) of devices of the conductor by only two signal inputs. This will be in contrast to the above-mentioned conventional memory structure that requires the intersection of the two conductors of each device. The addressing scheme relies on the delay of the electromagnetic signal inherent in the transmission line driven at a plurality of points and the superposition of such signals beyond a threshold at a given location (address;) within the transmission line. Advantageously, the accuracy of the addressing and thus the resolution and memory size can be improved by properly considering the transmission line loss and dissemination of 153752.doc 201203281. A one-dimensional (1_D) transmission line conductor can be extended to two-dimensional (2_D)' to eliminate the need for patterning of microstrip conductors. This first aspect of the invention also provides an apparatus comprising: an array of devices addressable by one of more than one threshold and linked by a signal conductor; and a signal generator configured to input a Transmitting a signal to a first portion of the conductor and, after a time delay, inputting a second signal to a second portion of the conductor such that the first signal and the second signal correspond to a predetermined device Interference at a location on the conductor thereby generating a signal that is more than a threshold of the predetermined device addressed to the conductor at the location. The predetermined device is predetermined by the input data to the signal generator. Such input data may come from outside the device or may be generated by the signal generator itself. The apparatus can include two signal conductors, the array of devices being coupled between the two signal conductors, thereby increasing the number of addressable locations by an exponent of two. These devices can be memory cells or light emitting devices. According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a data storage device comprising: a first array of addressable illumination devices, a light sensor responsive to any of the illumination devices Generating a signal to generate a signal, and a second array of regions located in the optical path between the first array and the photosensor 153752.doc • 6 · 201203281 and aligned with the first array The illumination device, the transparency of the regions corresponds to the data to be stored. The transparency of an area will determine whether the emitted light is picked up by the light sensing device when the illumination device is addressed. This provides a mechanism for reading the data stored in the area (usually binary or "〇".). - Transparency (or lack of transparency) of the area is susceptible to printing methods, such as by offset lithography onto a transparent substrate to create a non-transparent area and non-ink printing to create a transparent area. . Thus this second aspect of the invention provides an inexpensive means of storing data. In a preferred embodiment, the first array of addressable illumination devices and the photo sensing device can also be fabricated using printing (i.e., depositing an electronically active material in a fluid form). As such, the kite can be configured substantially parallel to the second array of regions to create a layer of stacks. A plate or a planar waveguide can feed light to a sensor located on one side of the device. A third aspect of the array of 歹二明 provides a method for storing data in an array. The 兮τ π electric D Hai method includes the following steps: In response to the caution to be stored, 哕Μ / 'car At some points in the column, when the deposited material is electrically excited, the point H depends on whether the material exists at the point, and '· a telecommunications issued by the point § (four) column When any point in the system is electrically excited, deposition from this method is cheaper to implement or implement, especially the recording mechanism. This method can be used for other (eg, decorative) purposes, and the deposition by printing has been used for 153752.doc 201203281. The properties of the deposited material can be resistance, in this case, when When the electric β is electrically excited, the electric signal passing through the current-current form of the material will be determined by the electric resistance. Alternatively, the material may be a singular s, such as a transistor or a two & u method for eucalyptus using two or more types of materials having different properties. When excited, one material can have a relatively high current and another material can have a relatively low current. The second aspect of the invention and the third (f-storage) aspect are advantageously addressed using the method of the first aspect. In this arrangement, the interconnection between the printed electronic memory array and the drive and sense circuits is minimized from the 2,000 required to 1 Mb to about 4 interconnects. This reduction in interconnect requirements and complexity makes this printable non-volatile memory device very low cost and subject to large scale processes. Thus, in a device according to the second aspect, the illumination devices can be configured to illuminate only when subjected to an input signal that exceeds one threshold. The input signal can be a voltage signal. The device can include a signal conductor to which the illumination device is coupled, and a k-factor generator configured to input a first signal to the a first portion of the conductor and inputting a first k number to a second portion of the conductor after a time delay relative to one of the first signals such that the first signal and the second signal correspond to It is desirable to actuate at one of the conductors of one of the devices to interfere. Apparatuses fabricated according to, for example, the second non-optical aspect of the above-described S-Hai include: 153752.doc 201203281 An array of devices that can be addressed by one of more than one threshold and linked by a signal conductor; and a signal generator, Is configured to input a first signal to a first portion of the conductor, and after a time delay, input a second signal to a second portion of the conductor such that the first signal and the first The second signal interferes at a location on the conductor corresponding to a predetermined device, thereby generating a signal addressed to the predetermined device at the location that is linked to the conductor; wherein a device is affected from the device when it is addressed An electrical signal; the device further comprising at least one sensor to measure the electrical signal. The s-device may have a resistor such that when it is addressed by an electrical device, an electrical signal in the form of a current flows through the device for picking up by the sensor, and the sensor itself may have a threshold. Alternatively, the device can be a threshold device such as a transistor or a diode. A rewritable device can be obtained by using a device having one of the switchable properties. Switching can be achieved by applying an electrical signal to the device having an amplitude greater than that typically used to address the device (although the electrical signal can still be applied using interference of the first signal and the second time delayed signal as described above) . A suitable apparatus can include chalcogenide glass which can be varied between two states (crystalline and amorphous) having different resistivities by the addition of a heat yoke. This first aspect of the invention can also be applied to conventional memory structures, such as a column-row architecture that defines memory cells. Instead of having a diode or a transistor, each memory cell itself may comprise a memory having, for example, the type 153752.doc 201203281 described above and which may be addressed by one of the more than one threshold and linked by at least one signal conductor An array of devices, and a signal generator configured to input a first signal to a first portion of a conductor and, after a time delay, input a second signal to one of the conductors a second portion such that the first signal and the second signal interfere at a portion of the conductor corresponding to a predetermined memory device, thereby generating the predetermined device addressed to the conductor at the portion A signal that exceeds a threshold. [Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to illustrate how a transmission line can be used for addressing memory, it is first useful to consider a transmission line as being represented by a large number (infinite on the limit).

This structure is used as a delay line, and the total delay Td of the structure is approximately .

the number of LC segments. The delay tn of each segment is given by: tn=SQRT(L*C) The image impedance technique can be used to show that the impedance of the transmission line is given by: Z(cd)=SQRT(L/ C)*SQRT(1-L*C*(〇2 /4) =Z0*SQRT(l-(L*C*co2 /4)) where Z〇=SQRT(L/C) is the characteristic impedance of the line For frequencies above one critical frequency from the end of the air, the impedance becomes an imaginary number: coc=2/SQRT(L*C) 153752.doc -10- 201203281 fc=l/(n*SQRT(L* C) The amplitude and phase characteristics of the ladder structure elements are shown in Figure 2. When a transmission line is terminated with a passive resistor equal to its characteristic impedance Z, there is no reflection at the terminations. Referring to Figure 3, it is understood that the voltage superimposed at a predetermined point along one of the transmission lines exceeds a threshold, and Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of one of the 32 trapezoidal sections damped transmission lines. The drivers VG1 and VG2 will be timed. Pulses are injected into the opposite ends of the transmission lines, and the results are monitored at nodes 至1 to 16 using respective voltmeters 〇1 to ]1. The characteristic impedance of the circuit is 100 Ω. 16 places to lose over time The output is the worst case at the edge of the line. Figure 5 shows the output of node 16 and other nodes 〇6 to 15 over time. This is further illustrated in Figure 6, which shows an ideal transmission line. The two pulses simultaneously introduced at the opposite end progress with time. The real trace and the imaginary trace of Fig. 6 show the two pulses at t=〇 and t=2, respectively. The traces show the two pulses at t=3 and t=4. The traces of Figure 2 show how the two pulses are at a definable location along the line at t=5 (in the example shown) At the midpoint of the constructive interference, one of the amplitudes (ι 〇) that is significantly larger than the amplitude of the individual pulses (〇5) can define the tip ♦. The virtual trace of Figure 6C and the real trace of the graph And the imaginary traces respectively show the subsequent separation of the pulses at t=6, t=7 and t=8. Figure 7 again shows the pulse progression, at this time a lossy transmission line (by a low-pass filter model) In the case of t=5 (solid line in Fig. 7C) 'The 153752.doc 201203281 two pulses again at the same intermediate point Although it has and has a lower amplitude (about 0.8) and a wider and less accurate spike. However, the simulation shows that when a transmission line is properly terminated, the transmission line can be driven at two turns to establish Once fully defined, the superimposed threshold pulse 'even when the line is damped by the internal resistance of the inductor. In the example of Figure 7, 'a suitable threshold can be between 〇.8 and 〇5 The intermediate value between, such as 0.65. Thus, it can be seen that the present invention is applicable to embodiments in printed electronic devices that typically have higher resistivities than conventional copper. A typical printed circuit board (peg) of strip lines and microstrip lines compared to a printed conductor having a surface resistivity of approximately 25_1 〇〇ιηΩ square (for example, a polymer conductor such as PEDOT) The οζ copper trace has a surface resistance of approximately 〇. square. However, to ensure reliable detection of the threshold, the total trace damping resistance of the transmission line should preferably be less than the characteristic impedance. The desired resolution of the transmission line determines the minimum delay necessary between the pulses transmitted into the transmission line. The desired resolution also effectively quantizes the analog transmission line to the constant 1^ ladder structure of the simulations. The desired degree of resolution affects the width of the pulses transmitted into the transmission line to ensure only the address. At one location on the line, the reconstructed width of the threshold pulse should preferably be less than the delay of the least resolved trapezoidal segment in the time domain. In the case where the dielectric portion of the capacitor in the 6 myn transmission line is a semiconductor (as in the printed memory device described below), this will be lossy and will result in normal dissemination at a higher (four) rate. The skin effect in this conductor trace is also caused by the spread of the _*β φ jα μ # HP inductive part of the ladder network. These broadcast effects indicate that the higher frequencies suffer from shorter ~ _ J, 怂 蒽 蒽. As shown in Fig. 8, the tube 7 has a lossless line with a spread (modeled by an all-pass filter), which is at t=5 (solid line of the figure (4)) (4) according to the two normal time units - wide Pulses, resulting in poor time and location accuracy. In practical applications, these effects can be analyzed and corrected by network analysis and Fourier methods. Network analysis allows the identification of actual transmission line values, while Fourier analysis will give the hole L the best way to process the data, by filtering and pre-emphasizing the way to have a threshold to the threshold or noise level. A very sharp pulse waveform in the time domain is obtained at the threshold address of the improved signal. The 〇7 〇 method can also be used to analyze and correct delay and spread. Figure 9 shows the modeled pulse progression in an actual line with moderate spread and loss, but where it has been pre-equisized before driving the line, with a step-by-step pre-emphasis display These pulses achieve good accuracy in time and pulse shape. This measure essentially returns both the time accuracy and the pulse amplitude back to the ideal condition of Figure 6. Figure 10 is a schematic illustration of a first dimensional embodiment of the present invention. The drivers 175, 180 supply signals to the transmission line 17A at both ends. As explained above, the delay between the respective signals is chosen such that the signals meet at a particular point of / σ at 6 ray (e.g., point P in Figure 1) and constructively interfere. The resulting signal exceeds a threshold to actuate the means at the coincident portion, such as a memory unit 185 between the line 170 and a ground line 190. In order to provide a 1 Mb memory addressing scheme, one of the transmission lines as assessed in the above-mentioned unintended simulations needs to resolve one million locations. 153752.doc • 13- 201203281 FIG. 11 is a schematic illustration of another embodiment of two arrays of horizontal (X) transmission lines 200 and vertical (Y) transmission lines 210 separated from each other in the depth (Z) direction. The drivers 220, 225 drive the horizontal transmission lines 200 together from either end, and the drivers 230, 235 collectively drive the vertical transmission lines 210 from either end. The signals applied to the X lines have a sign 'opposite to the signal applied to the gamma lines' such that when the signal superpositions in the X lines overlap with the signals in the dedicated Y line, the resulting potential difference exceeds A predetermined threshold and actuating the device at the coincident site (eg, actuating a memory unit). Addressing for a given tx and ty drive delay occurs along a pair of angular lines having a series of events separated by a segment of delay tn. A particular location can be read by gating the sense amplifier or storing the entire sequence of events in a shift register on the Shishi controller ic. The device of Figure 12 has the advantage of not requiring stripline patterning of the conductor layer, which device instead has a rectangular (square in this case) transport layer or panel 250" two-dimensional potential (more appropriate electromagnetic) "wave" system It is "emitted" into the layer 250 via the pad %^. This layer is also terminated on all four sides 255 with its characteristic impedance to minimize edge reflection. The shape and position of the signal input pads 260 can be optimized by calculating the Fourier and finite element methods of the electromagnetic signals to achieve optimal wave superposition of the threshold voltages in the time domain. In many of the memory devices discussed in the introduction above, the memory elements can be considered small signal diodes. The circuit of Figure 13 with the following typical local and inductance values can simulate a small signal dipole in the time domain.

It will be seen that the threshold current response (AM1) is sharper than the voltage (VM1), suggesting that the threshold current sensing is the most appropriate measurement for a local voltage stimulus. Such current sensing mechanisms will be found in light emitting diodes, organic light emitting materials, and organic semiconductors, and Figure 15 shows an embodiment of a memory structure in accordance with a second aspect of the present invention and employing such a material. A substrate 300 (eg, PET or coated board) has a first cathode layer 3 10 (eg, having a metallic conductive material, such as indium tin oxide (ιτο)), a luminescent material (eg, organic (〇LED) a second layer 320 of a material, such as a small molecule or a polymer, and a third transparent anode layer 33 (eg, a hole injecting material such as polyethylidene dioxythiophene (pED〇T)). The layers 310, 320, 330 define a illuminating device 36, which can be caused by subjecting any region or pixel of the illuminating device 360 to a voltage greater than a certain threshold by using the mechanism outlined above. Any area or pixel is excited to emit light. A corresponding dual-tank transmission line addressing schematic is shown in Figure 16, which is connected to signal drivers 34A, 35A, and the cathode layer 310 is connected to ground. In the above, the light-emitting device 360 is located at a light-sensing device 4, the light 153752.doc -15-201203281, the sensing device 400 is lost by one of the conductive transparent polymer (for example, pED〇T) 420 and A photovoltaic polymer layer 41 0 is formed between the metal conductive layers 43A. Another data layer 37 having opaque regions or pixels 38A, 382 and transparent regions or pixels 390, 392, respectively, is located between the transmitting device 36A and the sensing device 400. These areas can be provided by ink printing. When a particular region 38〇, 382, 39〇f, 392 of the transmitting device 360 is excited to emit light, the opaqueness of the corresponding regions 38〇, 3 82, 390, 392 of the data layer is The transparent state determines whether the sensing layer 4 接收 receives the light. This provides a mechanism for reading the status of any particular region of the data layer. It can be seen that the binary data can be retrieved in the layer 37 by printing one of the opaque regions onto the other transparent layer. The micro-replication topology 325 can be advantageously incorporated into the pLED/ The interaction between the OLED layer 320 and the transparent anode layer 330 increases the local electric field to enhance photon emission. The scale of the microreplication is generally smaller than the scale of the memory unit and therefore does not require alignment. 17 shows an alternative embodiment of the apparatus of FIG. 15, wherein the light sensing layer is directed by an optical light that is transmitted through the data layer 370 to an optical source that is indicative of one of the ends of the Shishiguang debt detector at 450. Light guide 440 is substituted. The addressing mechanism illustrated in the schematic of Figure 18 is still the same as the addressing mechanism of the previous embodiment. One advantage of the optical memory configuration discussed above with respect to Figures 15 and 17 is that a light sensing mechanism effectively isolates electrical noise generated by the current 153752.doc -16 - 201203281 current in the transmission line addressing scheme. Another advantage of the optical structure is that it facilitates the extension of the method to create a variable electronic display with and without memory, the memory having substantially the same number of pixels as the memory unit. The physical structure of the change. Figure 19 depicts a display structure that does not have a memory. Elements common to the embodiments of Figures 15 and 17 are designated by a common reference numeral. The light (four) layers and circuits of the above-mentioned embodiments are omitted, and a regular pattern 5 is printed on the memory layer 370 to define the pixels 51, which are again used as shown in FIG. The transmission line addressing scheme addresses the display. The display remains operational by continuously refreshing the pixel data at a rate higher than human flicker detection (typically 5 〇 7 〇 Ηζ). This system is closer to a cathode ray tube (crt) system than a modern flat panel display, which is addressed to a single location at a given time, such as an electron beam of the same CRT. The gray scale is obtained by changing the address dwell time at a particular pixel location. The illustrated embodiment is monochromatic, but can be easily converted to color by dividing red, green, and blue pixels. The display structure of a megapixel grayscale display may require large-scale address refresh. The information content display and memory can be easily accommodated in the early-frame structure. In this embodiment the top layer waveguide is configured to allow for a dual purpose, reduced efficiency mode for both viewing and light collection to function. However, Fig. 2U shows an alternative non-optical memory cell structure. Fig. 22 shows the corresponding address of the display. The features common to the previous embodiment are indicated by the common reference numerals. 153752.doc • 17· 201203281 In this embodiment, the OLED threshold mechanism is replaced by a layer 600 having an organic semiconductor transistor or diode element 610. For example, McCuU〇ch et al., Nature Materials, Vol. 5, pp. 328-333 (April 2-6) and Berggren et al., Nature Materials, Volume 6, pages 3 to 5 (January 2, 2007) These elements are discussed in ). As indicated by the different shades 612, 614, different types of components corresponding to binary "0" and "丨" are used to record data in the layer 600. These non-optical methods rely on the relative amount of current flowing through a threshold device such as a transistor and a diode or a material that can make the resistor a variable material. In one embodiment, an active diode or transistor (as is known to have a low resistance which results in a relatively high current when addressed) may provide a type of device (e.g., corresponding to "1"). Another type of component (e.g., corresponding to "〇") can have a threshold that causes a relatively low current to be addressed when addressed, or cannot be patterned at all. The Xuanji site scheme can be used to change the phase of the material at a particular location in the layer. One suitable material is chalcogenide glass which varies between two states (crystalline and amorphous) having different resistivities after being heated. A larger voltage pulse can be used to locally heat one of the substrates. The clamp is changed and its state is changed, and a lower level voltage pulse is used to read 4.卩 position. This configuration allows the memory to become rewritable. A similar approach can be used in the optical configurations discussed above - the phase change causes different optical properties, such as near transparent to near opaque, rather than relatively high resistance to relatively low resistance. The sensing mechanism uses the differential scheme of Figure 20, where an activated threshold 153752.doc 201203281 mechanism 610 unbalances the current in a differential transmission line. "This imbalance will depend on the location that has been deposited at the location being addressed. The type of component varies. A differential amplifier 650 is used for detection to minimize common mode electrical noise. In operation, the print memory device (such as polymer diodes and transistors) may be too slow to respond to a narrow pulse width of high memory resolution. Repeated excitation of an addressed portion with a short pulse will have the effect of extending the perceived pulse width of the slow device, thereby effectively establishing a quasi-stationary wave at the threshold portion. While the addressing scheme is analogous in nature, some precision of the digital domain can be provided by patterning the memory cells at a scale that is less than the typical pulse width in the time domain. This will ensure that a fully reinforced voltage pulse (caused by the interference of the two signals) is experienced across the entire width of the threshold device to ensure maximum output. The sensing device can be set to respond only to this maximum output, thereby reducing the sensitivity of any other noise in the system. The optical memory structure using the two-dimensional transmission line addressing scheme also has the advantages of a homogeneous PLED or OLED structure, and the completely homogeneous pled or OLED structure has opacity corresponding to 〇 and 1 by using conventional ink and printing techniques. Non-volatile data memory patterning by transparent patterns. This optical method facilitates the low cost, high speed manufacturing of the roll film, which can later be converted to a printable paper card or PET substrate. This will be in contrast to the non-optical memory structure of the type disclosed in Figures 19 and 20, wherein the organic semiconductor needs to be patterned under the microscope to non-volatile data by selective printing of the organic semiconductor. Array memory 153752.doc •19· 201203281. This requires an electrical scheme to write one of the memories, resulting in further complexity requiring further microscopic patterning. The two-dimensional structure of Figure ίο also facilitates fabrication by film roll manufacturing techniques. When implemented in the optical memory structures of Figures 13 and 15, the fabrication can be broken down into three modular procedures: Procedure 1: Structure of the amalgamed roll film fabrication step a. Polymer (pled) or Other organic (OLED) light-emitting layers 320 are located on the metallized or conductive microreplicated polymer film 31. Step b. The photovoltaic layer 41 or the waveguide layer 44 is on the metallized or conductive polymer film 330. Procedure 2: Reel-to-Flex Transfer Panel Step a. Cut the laminate from step a of procedure 1 to form a panel 250 and bond it to a substrate 300, such as a printable substrate, such as paper, board Or PET. Step b, for each panel 25, ensures that the transmission line is properly terminated, for example by printing a characteristic termination impedance Zq at its edge 255. Optimized drive terminals 260 and pads for the connection of integrated circuits can also be printed. Step e. Pick up the integrated circuit and place it on the connection pads. Procedure 3: Roll-on final device fabrication Step a. Print material layer 370 or pixel pattern 500, 51〇. This non-volatile vomiting pattern can include error correction, redundancy, and alignment data bits. It can use 'standard printing equipment, including printing machine, professional inkjet printer field printer and personal desktop inkjet printer. However, conventional printers provide the highest speed manufacturing. Although inkjet printing is slower than 153752.doc 201203281, it will produce finer resolution and higher memory density. Then, the threshold layer and detector layer (4) from the previous step will be used to the poor layer. To make a non-volatile memory device. Since alignment is not required, the program can be efficiently executed in a general printing apparatus. " The above method allows for the manufacture of low-cost devices for high-information content for industrial and consumer electronics that can be handled in a high-productivity A quantity. A complete audiovisual device can be built by including a thin battery and audio circuitry and actuators on the card substrate. If RF communication is included in Shi Xixiao, the device can be used as a 1% information content storage device. In the above-mentioned materials implementation, the location and sensing of the threshold events are conveniently implemented at the 45 nm to 9 G nanometer scale in the (4) integrated circuits. In contrast, it is convenient to manufacture by depositing (in the common language "printing") an electronically active fluid over a typical area of 1 G square millimeter to (10) square millimeter having a printable line width of about 10 micrometers to 50 micrometers. Equal transmission lines and associated memory structures. However, the addressing scheme of the present invention is equally applicable to sub-micron implementations (e.g., on Shi Xi). At this scale, the 'timing will be tighter and the resolution is lower', for example, the 1〇 to 1〇〇 part of each two-dimensional Χ, γ panel is provided in the range of (10) to 1 〇〇〇〇. The resolution of the memory in the range. Micron-scale Shixi may also exist as 'amorphous stone slabs deposited on a flexible substrate (such as PET or non-recorded steel) to make active f-sub-device materials. The addressing scheme can also be combined with the conventional XY (column-row) architecture of each memory cell using a diode or a transistor such that L, a conventional patterning 153752.doc -21 · 201203281 can be used for the memory The bulk is granulated into units at the order of one million and one billion words, and the addressing scheme of the present invention can be used to further fine-grain the units to the kilobit per word. In one embodiment, the χ_γ matrix patterning provides a coarse-grained two-dimensional single 兀, which is then further resolved in the XY plane without further rounding. For example, at a line width of 00 nm, a single micron (four) meter of monolith is patterned with a local drive and sense transistor (eg, the same TFT LCD), and then the germanium is micron using the addressing scheme of the present invention. "The individual of the micro-units resolves down to about 100 to 1 memory locations, and thus no further patterning is required. ... Alternatively, the addressing scheme can be applied to the χ γ matrix perpendicular to the conventional architecture - In the three-dimensional dimension, a corresponding reading and writing program can use two threshold levels as the read/write of each CD.
