Abstract: A method of forming a Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) includes the following steps. A first dielectric layer is formed on a first electrode layer. A second dielectric layer having a first trench is formed on the first dielectric layer. Spacers are formed beside sidewalls of the first trench. Apart of the first dielectric layer exposed by the spacers is removed, thereby forming a second trench in the first dielectric layer. A resistance switching material fills in the second trench. The second dielectric layer and the spacers are removed. A second electrode layer is formed on the resistance switching material and the first dielectric layer. The present invention also provides a RRAM formed by said method.
