The present disclosure provides resistive random access memory (RRAM) structures and methods of making the same. The RRAM structures include a bottom electrode having protruded step portion that allows formation of a self-aligned conductive path with a top electrode during operation. The protruded step portion may have an inclination angle of about 30 degrees to 150 degrees. Multiple RRAM structures may be formed by etching through a RRAM stack.
