    Abstract: A writing method for a resistive memory apparatus is provided. In the method, logic data is received, and a corresponding selection memory cell is selected. A logic level of the logic data is determined. When the logic data is at a first logic level, a RESET pulse is provided to the selection memory cell and then a SET pulse smaller than a reference write current and having a near-rectangular pulse width is provided to the selection memory cell during a writing period. When the logic data is at a second logic level, the RESET pulse is provided to the selection memory cell and then a SET pulse larger than the reference write current and having the near-rectangular pulse width is provided to the selection memory cell during the writing period.

    Abstract: A method of forming semiconductor device, including forming a first protective strip and a second protective strip on a semiconductor substrate. The first protective strip and the second protective strip extend in a first direction and are alternately arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first protective strip and the second protective strip are spaced apart from each other. The first protective strip is cut by selectively removing a portion of the first protective strip. The second protective strip is cut by selectively removing a portion of the second protective strip. The semiconductor substrate is etched to form an isolation trench. Remaining portions of the first and second protective strips are removed. An isolation feature is filled into the isolation trench. The isolation feature defines a plurality of strip-shaped active regions. Capacitor contacts are formed on both ends of each of the strip-shaped active regions.
