Abstract

A method includes forming a resistance-switching layer and a second electrode over a first electrode. The method includes applying a forming voltage to the resistance-switching layer such that the resistance of the resistance-switching layer is decreased. The method includes applying an initial reset voltage to the first electrode or the second electrode such that the resistance of the resistance-switching layer is increased. The method includes applying a first set voltage to the first electrode or the second electrode such that the resistance of the resistance-switching layer is decreased. The method includes applying a second reset voltage to first electrode or the second electrode such that the resistance of the resistance-switching layer is increased. The method includes applying a second set voltage to first electrode or the second electrode such that the resistance of the resistance-switching layer is decreased. The second set voltage is lower than the first set voltage.
