    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a resistive memory device is provided. A bottom electrode and a cup-shaped electrode connected to the bottom electrode are formed in an insulating layer. A cover layer extends along a first direction is formed and covers a first area surrounded by the cup-shaped electrode and exposes a second area and a third area surrounded by the cup-shaped electrode. A sacrificial layer is formed above the insulating layer. A stacked layer extends along a second direction and covers the second area surrounded by the cup-shaped electrode and a portion of the corresponding cover layer is formed. A conductive spacer material layer is formed on the stacked layer and the sacrificial layer. By using the sacrificial layer as an etch stop layer, the conductive spacer material layer is etched to form a conductive spacer at the sidewall of the stacked layer.

    Abstract: A memory cell includes a memory element, a current-limiting element electrically coupled to the memory element, and a high-selection-ratio element electrically coupled to the current-limiting element. The memory element is configured to store data as a resistance state. The current-limiting element is a voltage-controlled resistor (VCR) having a resistance that decreases when a voltage applied thereto increases. The high-selection-ratio element has a first resistance that is small when a voltage applied to the memory cell is approximately equal to a selection voltage of the memory cell, and has a second resistance that is substantially larger than the first resistance when the voltage applied to the memory cell is approximately equal to one-half of the selection voltage.

    Abstract: A resistance switching memory is introduced herein. The resistance switching memory includes a highly-insulating or resistance-switching material formed to cover the sidewall of a patterned metal line, and extended alongside a dielectric layer sidewall to further contact a portion of the top surface of the lower electrode. The other part of the top surface of the lower electrode is covered by an insulating layer between the top electrode and the lower electrode. An oxygen gettering metal layer in the lower electrode occupies a substantial central part of the top surface of the lower electrode and is partially covered by the highly-insulating or resistance-switching material. A switching area is naturally very well confined to the substantial central part of the oxygen gettering metal layer of the lower electrode.
