Abstract

A system and method for selecting nanometer-scaled devices. The method includes a plurality of semiconductor wires. Two adjacent semiconductor wires of the plurality of semiconductor wires are associated with a separation smaller than or equal to 100 nm. Additionally, the system includes a plurality of address lines. Each of the plurality of address lines includes a gate region and an inactive region and intersects the plurality of semiconductor wires at a plurality of intersections. The plurality of intersections includes a first intersection and second intersection. The first intersection is associated with the gate region, and the second intersection is associated with the inactive region.
