Abstract
A resistive switching device includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer on the substrate, a conductive via in the first dielectric layer, and a resistive switching structure embedded in an upper portion of the conductive via. The resistive switching structure includes a top electrode layer having a lower sharp corner, a resistive switching material layer disposed around the lower sharp corner of the top electrode layer, and a bottom electrode layer disposed between the resistive switching material layer and the upper portion of the conductive via.
