Abstract: A resistive random access memory (RRAM) structure includes a RRAM cell, spacers and a dielectric layer. The RRAM cell is disposed on a substrate. The spacers are disposed beside the RRAM cell, wherein widths of top surfaces of the spacers are larger than or equal to widths of bottom surfaces of the spacers. The dielectric layer blanketly covers the substrate and sandwiches the RRAM cell, wherein the spacers are located in the dielectric layer. A method for forming the resistive random access memory (RRAM) structure is also provided.

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 respectively formed in the first dielectric layer on the memory region and the logic region. A memory cell is formed on the first dielectric layer and directly contacts a top surface of the first conductive structure. A first cap layer continuously covers a top surface and a sidewall of the memory cell and directly contacts a top surface of the second conductive structure. A second dielectric layer is formed on the first cap layer. A third conductive structure penetrates through the second dielectric layer and the first cap layer to contact the memory cell.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory gate disposed on a main surface of a substrate. The memory has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. A control gate is 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 provided between the second sidewall of the memory gate and the third sidewall of the control gate. A first single spacer structure is disposed on the first sidewall of the memory gate. A second single spacer structure is disposed on the fourth sidewall of the control gate. A gap-filling layer is deposited into the gap and fills up the gap.
