Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate and a transistor disposed on the substrate. The transistor includes a source doped region, a drain doped region, a channel region, and a gate over the channel region. A data storage region is in proximity to the transistor and recessed into the substrate. The data storage region includes a ridge and a V-shaped groove. A bottom electrode layer conformally covers the ridge and V-shaped groove within the data storage region. A resistive-switching layer conformally covers the bottom electrode layer. A top electrode layer covers the resistive-switching layer.
