Abstract
A resistive random access memory and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The method includes providing a bottom electrode formed on a substrate. A metal oxide layer is formed on the bottom electrode. An oxygen atom gettering layer is formed on the metal oxide layer. A top electrode is formed on the oxygen atom gettering layer. The previous mentioned structure is subjected to a thermal treatment, driving the oxygen atoms of the metal oxide layer to migrate into and react with the oxygen atom gettering layer, thus leaving a plurality of oxygen vacancies of the metal oxide layer.
