Nano/CMOS architectures using a field-programmable nanowire interconnect

TL;DR: The field-programmable nanowire interconnect (FPNI) as discussed by the authors enables a family of hybrid nano/CMOS circuit architectures that generalizes the CMOL (CMOS/molecular hybrid) approach proposed by Strukov and Likharev, allowing for simpler fabrication, more conservative process parameters, and greater flexibility in the choice of nanoscale devices.
