FIELD: microelectronics. SUBSTANCE: scalable data processing device, and data storage device in particular, has one or more thin-film instruments actually forming planar layer of plurality of thin-film sublayers. Two or more thin-film instruments form integrated deck assembled essentially of planar layers that form thin-film instruments thereby organizing deck configuration. Each thin-film instrument has one or more memory areas that form matrix- addressable memories, and circuit memories that form thin-film electronic circuit for controlling, exciting, and addressing memory locations in one or more memories Each device has interface to every other thin-film instrument of device; mentioned interfaces are provided with coupling and signal buses as well as with supporting processing circuit, all of them running vertically through areas designed for interfaces in thin-film instrument. EFFECT: improved design. 20 cl, 19 dwg
