A resistive memory device includes a dielectric layer, a via connection structure, a stacked structure, and an insulating structure. The via connection structure is disposed in the dielectric layer. The stacked structure is disposed on the via connection structure and the dielectric layer. The insulating structure penetrates through the stacked structure in a vertical direction and divides the stacked structure into a first memory cell unit and a second memory cell unit. The first memory cell unit includes a first bottom electrode, and the second memory cell unit includes a second bottom electrode separated from the first bottom electrode by the insulating structure. The via connection structure is electrically connected with the first bottom electrode and the second bottom electrode.

Resistive memory device and manufacturing method thereof

A resistive memory device includes a substrate; a dielectric layer disposed on the substrate; a conductive via disposed in the dielectric layer; and a memory stack structure disposed on the conductive via and the dielectric layer. The memory stack structure includes a bottom electrode layer, a resistive switching layer on the bottom electrode layer, and a top electrode layer on the resistive switching layer. The top electrode layer includes at least two physically separated sub-electrode portions.

Resistive random access memory device and fabrication method thereof

A forming method of a ReRAM array includes steps as follows: Firstly, a first pulse is applied to a first ReRAM unit in the ReRAM array. Afterwards, a second pulse is applied to the first ReRAM unit, wherein the electrical property of the first pulse is opposite to that of the second pulse. Then, a verification pulse is applied to the first ReRAM unit to verify whether the first resistance value of the first ReRAM unit passes a preset threshold. When the first resistance value passes the preset threshold value, a third pulse is applied to the first ReRAM unit, wherein the first pulse and the third pulse have the same electrical property, and the first pulse has a voltage value substantially the same to that of the third pulse.
