Variable resistance memory devices and methods of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A variable resistance memory device includes a plurality of first conductive lines, each of the first conductive lines extends in a first direction, a plurality of second conductive lines are above the first conductive lines, and each of the second conductive lines extend in a second direction transverse to the first direction. A plurality of first memory cells are at intersections where the first and second conductive lines overlap each other, each of the first memory cells including a first variable resistance structure having a first variable resistance pattern, a first sacrificial pattern and a second variable resistance pattern sequentially stacked in the first direction on a first plane. A plurality of third conductive lines are above the second conductive lines, each of the third conductive lines extend in the first direction, and a plurality of second memory cells are at intersections where the second and the third conductive lines overlap each other. Each of the second memory cells includes a second variable resistance structure having a third variable resistance pattern, a second sacrificial pattern and a fourth variable resistance pattern sequentially stacked in the first direction on second plane.
