Abstract:
A resistive random access memory (RRAM) and a verifying method thereof are provided. The RRAM comprises at least one resistive memory cell. The resistive memory cell comprises a resistive memory element and a transistor, wherein one terminal of the resistive memory element is coupled to a first terminal of the transistor. The verifying method comprises the following steps: Whether the resistive memory cell passes verification is determined. During a first time period and under the circumstance that the resistive memory cell fails to pass verification, a reference voltage is applied to the other terminal of the resistive memory element and a voltage pulse is applied to a second terminal of the transistor according to a voltage signal to write a reverse voltage to the resistive memory cell.
