Abstract
A three-dimensional crossbar array may include a metal layer, and an insulator layer disposed adjacent the metal layer. A trench may be formed in the metal layer to create sections in the metal layer, and a portion of the trench may include an insulator. A hole may be formed in the trench and contact a section of the metal layer. The hole may define a via. A contact region between the via and the section of the metal layer may define a crossbar array.
