Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate having a first interlayer dielectric layer thereon; a lower metal interconnect layer in the first interlayer dielectric layer; a conductive via disposed on the lower metal interconnect layer; a bottom electrode disposed on the conductive via; a dielectric data storage layer having variable resistance disposed on the bottom electrode; a top electrode disposed on the dielectric data storage layer; and a protective layer covering sidewalls of the top electrode, the dielectric data storage layer, and the bottom electrode. The protective layer includes an annular, upwardly protruding portion around a perimeter of the top electrode.
