Abstract
A resistive random access memory structure includes a first inter-layer dielectric layer; a bottom electrode disposed in the first inter-layer dielectric layer; a capping layer disposed on the bottom electrode and on the first inter-layer dielectric layer; and a through hole disposed in the capping layer. The through hole partially exposes a top surface of the bottom electrode. A variable resistance layer is disposed within the through hole. A top electrode is disposed within the through hole and on the variable resistance layer. A second inter-layer dielectric layer covers the top electrode and the capping layer.
