Abstract

A resistive memory and a repairing method of the resistive memory are provided. Steps of the repairing method includes: operating a plurality of set-reset cycles on the resistive memory; detecting whether the resistive memory encounters an over-set issue after the set-reset cycles are operated; if the resistive memory encounters the over-set issue, executing an enhanced reset programming on the resistive memory. Here, the enhanced reset programming is executed by applying an enhanced reset voltage on the resistive memory during an enhanced reset time period. A product of the enhanced reset voltage and the enhanced reset time period is larger than a product of a reset voltage and a reset time period.
