A method for fabricating memory device includes: providing a substrate having a bottom electrode layer therein, forming a buffer layer and a mask layer on the buffer layer over the substrate, in contact with the bottom electrode layer, performing an advanced oxidation process on a sidewall of the buffer layer to form a resistive layer, which surrounds the whole sidewall of the buffer layer and extends upward vertically from the substrate, and forming, over the substrate, a noble metal layer and a top electrode layer on the noble metal layer, fully covering the resistive layer and the mask layer.

Fabrication method of memory device

The present invention relates to a structure of a memory device. The structure of a memory device includes a substrate, including a bottom electrode layer formed therein. A buffer layer is disposed on the substrate, in contact with the bottom electrode layer. A resistive layer surrounds a whole sidewall of the buffer layer, and extends upward vertically from the substrate. A mask layer is disposed on the buffer layer and the resistive layer. A noble metal layer is over the substrate, and fully covers the resistive layer and the mask layer. A top electrode layer is disposed on the noble metal layer.
