Abstract
Provided is a method for manufacturing a variable resistance nonvolatile storage device, which prevents electrical conduction between lower electrodes and upper electrodes of variable resistance elements in the memory cell holes. The method includes: forming lower copper lines; forming a third interlayer insulating layer; forming memory cell holes in the third interlayer insulating layer, an opening diameter of upper portions of the memory cell holes being smaller than bottom portions; forming a metal electrode layer on the bottom of each memory cell holes by sputtering; embedding and forming a variable resistance layer in each memory cell hole; and forming upper copper lines connected to the variable resistance layer embedded and formed in each memory cell hole.
