Claim 0:
1. A resistive change element array comprising:
a first plurality of word lines;
a second plurality of word lines;
a plurality of bit lines, wherein each bit line in said plurality of bit lines has a segment located below said first plurality of word lines and a segment located above said second plurality of word lines;
a plurality of electrical communication conductive structures, wherein each electrical communication conductive structure in said plurality of electrical communication conductive structures is in electrical communication with a bit line segment in said bit line segments located below said first plurality of word lines and a bit line segment in said bit line segments located above said second plurality of word lines and provides an electrical communication path between said bit line segment located below said first plurality of word lines and said bit line segment located above said second plurality of word lines;
a first plurality of resistive change elements, wherein each resistive change element in said first plurality of resistive change elements has a nanotube fabric, wherein each resistive change element in said first plurality of resistive change elements is operable as an antifuse that remains in a high resistive state until adjusted to a low resistive state and a resistance of said low resistive state is less than a resistance of said high resistive state, and wherein each resistive change element in said first plurality of resistive change elements is in electrical communication with a bit line in said plurality of bit lines and a word line in said first plurality of word lines; and
a second plurality of resistive change elements, wherein each resistive change element in said second plurality of resistive change elements has a nanotube fabric, wherein each resistive change element in said second plurality of resistive change elements is operable as an antifuse that remains in a high resistive state until adjusted to a low resistive state and a resistance of said low resistive state is less than a resistance of said high resistive state, and wherein each resistive change element in said second plurality of resistive change elements is in electrical communication with a bit line in said plurality of bit lines and a word line in said second plurality of word lines.
