Abstract
The present disclosure relates to resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices. A method for fabricating an RRAM device includes: fabricating a first bottom electrode and a second bottom electrode on a substrate; fabricating a first isolation layer on the substrate, the first bottom electrode, and the second bottom electrode; fabricating a via in the first isolation layer to expose a portion of the first bottom electrode; fabricating a switching oxide layer on the first isolation layer and the exposed portion of the first bottom electrode; and fabricating a filament-forming layer by etching a portion of the switching oxide layer that extends beyond the via. The portion of the switching oxide layer does not contact the exposed portion of the first bottom electrode. A top electrode is fabricated on the filament-forming layer. A top metal interconnect may be fabricated on the top electrode and a second isolation layer.
