  • Publication number: 20140077149
    Abstract: A resistance memory cell including a variable resistance layer is provided. The variable resistance layer includes at least one dominant resistance layer and at least one auxiliary resistance layer. The dominant resistance layer(s) and the auxiliary resistance layer(s) in totality form a closed ion exchange system, the exchanged ions are comparably mobile in each of the dominant resistance layer(s) and the auxiliary resistance layer(s), and the maximum resistance of the at least one dominant resistance layer is higher than that of the at least one auxiliary resistance layer.

  • Patent number: 8362454
    Abstract: A resistive random access memory and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The method includes providing a bottom electrode formed on a substrate. A metal oxide layer is formed on the bottom electrode. An oxygen atom gettering layer is formed on the metal oxide layer. A top electrode is formed on the oxygen atom gettering layer. The previous mentioned structure is subjected to a thermal treatment, driving the oxygen atoms of the metal oxide layer to migrate into and react with the oxygen atom gettering layer, thus leaving a plurality of oxygen vacancies of the metal oxide layer.

  • Publication number: 20090114899
    Abstract: A resistance memory is manufactured using semiconductor processing to comprise planar dual-tip electrodes so that the electric field in the resistance memory is concentrated to reduce the number of fuses in the dielectric material and improve the device characteristics. The resistance memory comprises: a first memory cell including a first bottom electrode and a common top electrode; and a second memory cell including a second bottom electrode and the common top electrode shared with the first memory cell; wherein the first bottom electrode, the second bottom electrode and the common top electrode are disposed on the same plane and are separated by a resistive conversion layer; wherein the common top electrode is connected to the ground through a via, while the first bottom electrode and the second bottom electrode are connected to the source of a transistor through a plug, respectively.
