Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a memory region and a logic region. A first dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate. A first conductive structure and a second conductive structure are formed in the first dielectric layer and respectively on the memory region and the logic region of the substrate. A memory cell is disposed on the first dielectric layer and directly contacts a top surface of the first conductive structure. A first cap layer is formed on the first dielectric layer and continuously covers a top surface and a sidewall of the memory cell and a top surface of the second conductive structure. A second dielectric layer is formed on the first cap. A third conductive structure is formed in the second dielectric layer and penetrates through the first cap layer to contacts the memory cell.

Abstract: A resistive random-access memory (RRAM) device includes a bottom electrode, a high work function layer, a resistive material layer, a top electrode and high work function spacers. The bottom electrode, the high work function layer, the resistive material layer and the top electrode are sequentially stacked on a substrate, wherein the resistive material layer includes a bottom part and a top part. The high work function spacers cover sidewalls of the bottom part, thereby constituting a RRAM cell. The present invention also provides a method of forming a RRAM device.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor memory device is disclosed. A substrate having a main surface is provided. A memory gate is formed on the main surface of the substrate. The memory has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. A control gate is formed in proximity to the memory gate. The control gate has a third sidewall directly facing the second sidewall, and a fourth sidewall opposite to the third sidewall. A gap is formed between the second sidewall of the memory gate and the third sidewall of the control gate. A first single spacer structure is formed on the first sidewall of the memory gate and a second single spacer structure on the fourth sidewall of the control gate. A gap-filling layer is formed to fill up the gap.
