An integrated circuit having a three-dimensional memory array provides for a given number of memory planes, but may be fabricated instead to include a lesser number of memory planes by omitting the masks and processing steps associated with the omitted memory planes, without changing any of the other fabrication masks for the other memory planes or for the remainder of the device, and without requiring routing or other configuration changes to the read or read/write path for the array. Control circuitry for selectively enabling certain layer selector circuits is configurable, and the layer selector circuits are suitably arranged, to couple a respective array line on an implemented memory layer to each respective I/O bus line irrespective of the number of implemented memory planes.
