    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a semiconductor integrated circuit device and a manufacturing method therefor. In the device, an electrode in a resistive random-access memory (RRAM) cell is directly connected to a metal layer, thereby omitting the steps of filling a connection via with other metal materials (such as tungsten) and of polishing. The manufacturing process is hence simplified, and different degrees of depressions caused by polishing are correspondingly reduced. The uniformity of resistive performance of the RRAM and the quality of the semiconductor integrated circuit device are hence greatly improved. In addition, a resistive layer having a trench structure is formed by using a trench where an original connection via is located, thereby embedding the entire RRAM cell into the trench. The structure of the RRAM cell is more compact, a gap between RRAM cells is smaller, and the requirements for miniaturization and high density can thus be better met.
