Abstract: An RRAM structure includes a bottom electrode, a resistive switching layer, a top electrode, a spacer and a conductive line. The bottom electrode is a first cylinder. The resistive switching layer includes a second cylinder and a three-dimensional disk. A first bottom of the second cylinder directly contacts a top surface of the three-dimensional disk. The top electrode is a third cylinder. The third cylinder includes a top base, a second bottom base and a sidewall. The first cylinder is embedded within the second cylinder and the three-dimensional disk. The second cylinder is embedded within the third cylinder and the second bottom base of the third cylinder directly contacts the top surface of the three-dimensional disk. The spacer surrounds and directly contacts a side surface of the three-dimensional disk. The conductive line encapsulates the top base and the sidewall of the third cylinder.

Abstract: A resistive memory device includes a dielectric layer, a first via connection structure, a first stacked structure, and a first insulating structure. The first via connection structure is disposed in the dielectric layer. The first stacked structure is disposed on the first via connection structure and the dielectric layer. The first insulating structure penetrates through a portion of the first stacked structure in a vertical direction and divides the first stacked structure into a first cell unit and a second cell unit. The first cell unit and the second cell unit include a first shared bottom electrode, and the first insulating structure is disposed directly on the first shared bottom electrode.

Abstract: An RRAM includes a bottom electrode, a resistive switching layer, a top electrode and a cap layer stacked from bottom to top. The cap layer includes a top surface. A first spacer contacts a first sidewall of the bottom electrode, and a second sidewall of the resistive switching layer. A second spacer contacts the first spacer and contacts a third spacer of the top electrode. A thickness of the first spacer is greater of a thickness of the second spacer. The first spacer and the second spacer do not cover the topmost surface of the cap layer.
