ABSTRACT:
Pullup and pulldown structures can be formed using nanoscale programmable junctions. These devices can be integrated into nanoscale circuit designs and can be programmably configured, e.g., desired resistance values set. Additionally, the pullup and pulldown devices allow for convenient integration of nanoscale devices with microscale devices.
