    摘要: A forming method of a variable resistance nonvolatile memory element capable of lowering a forming voltage and preventing variations of the forming voltage depending on variable resistance elements. The forming method is for initializing a variable resistance element, including a step (S24) of determining whether or not a current flowing in a 1T1R memory cell is greater than a reference current; a step (S22) of applying a forming positive voltage pulse having a pulse width (Tp(n)) is gradually increased when it is determined that the current is not greater than the reference current; and a step (S23) of applying a negative voltage pulse having a pulse width Tn equal to or shorter than a pulse width Tp(n). The determining step (S24), the application step (S22), and the application step (S23) are repeated until the forming becomes successful.
