Abstract
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.
