Abstract
An RRAM structure includes a dielectric layer. A bottom electrode, a resistive switching layer and a top electrode are disposed from bottom to top on the dielectric layer. A spacer is disposed at sidewalls of the bottom electrode, the resistive switching layer and the top electrode. The spacer includes an L-shaped spacer and a sail-shaped spacer. The L-shaped spacer contacts the sidewall of the bottom electrode, the sidewall of the resistive switching layer and the sidewall of the top electrode. The sail-shaped spacer is disposed on the L-shaped spacer. A metal line is disposed on the top electrode and contacts the top electrode and the spacer.
