Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an integrated chip including a switching layer over a semiconductor substrate. The switching layer comprises a first metal oxide. An upper conductive structure overlies the switching layer. The switching layer is spaced between opposing sidewalls of the upper conductive structure. A first dielectric layer is disposed along opposing sidewalls of the switching layer. The first dielectric layer comprises a second metal oxide different from the first metal oxide. A top surface of the switching layer and a top surface of the first dielectric layer directly underlie a bottom surface of the upper conductive structure.
