Abstract
A memory device includes a substrate, a first signal line, a first dielectric layer, a phase change layer, a second dielectric layer, a first electrode, a second electrode and a second signal line. The first signal line is disposed over the substrate. The first dielectric layer is disposed over the first signal line. The phase change layer is disposed over the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer is disposed over the phase change layer. The first electrode and the second electrode are penetrating through the first dielectric layer, the phase change layer and the second dielectric layer, wherein the phase change layer is located between the first electrode and the second electrode. The second signal line is disposed over the second dielectric layer, wherein the first signal line is electrically connected with the first electrode, and the second signal line is electrically connected with the second electrode.
