Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating an active structure, the method comprising the steps of: a. fabricating a form having a topology representative of a pattern of pits and channels; b. applying the form to a moldable substrate to impose the pattern therein; and c. applying a series of layers to the substrate to create the structure, wherein the channels include a first series of channels running in a first direction and a second series of channels running in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, wherein: a. the first-series channels and the second-series channels cross at crossing points; b. the pits are located at the crossing points; and c. the layers form nonlinear elements in at least some of the pits, the nonlinear elements each connecting a first-series channel with a second-series channel, wherein the structure is a memory circuit having data contents, the nonlinear elements being distributed among the pits in a scheme defining the data contents.
