Abstract

This invention introduces a resistive random access memory (RRAM) device, a write verify method and a reverse write verify thereof which are capable of improving the performance of RRAM operations and improving the uniform performance for each RRAM cell. A first resistance value sensed from a RRAM cell is compared with a plurality of reference resistance values to obtain a comparison value. A set or a reset operation is performed on the RRAM cell by applying a first set or reset pulse to change the first resistance value to a second resistance value. Next, the second resistance value is compared with the comparison value to determine whether to continue the set or reset operation on the RRAM cell.
