  • Patent number: 9525133
    Abstract: Disclosed is a resistive random access memory, comprising a substrate, an insulating layer, a bottom electrode, a resistive material film, and a top electrode in an order from bottom to top, wherein the resistive material film is a four-layer structure composed of a same metal oxide; and the four layers in the four-layer structure from bottom to top have resistance values which are increased one after another by more than 10 times, oxygen concentrations which are increased one after another and thickness which are decreased one after another. The present invention may achieve complete formation-rupture of oxygen vacancy conductive filaments (CF) in each layer by dividing the resistive material film of the same metal oxide into four layers according to the different oxygen concentrations, so as to control accurately the resistance values, so that 2-bit storage with high uniformity is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20160240778
    Abstract: Disclosed are a multi-value nonvolatile organic resistive random access memory and a method for preparing the same. The resistive random access memory comprises a top electrode, a bottom electrode and a middle functional layer located between the top electrode and the bottom electrode, the middle functional layer is at least two layers of parylene. The method comprises the steps of: growing material for the bottom electrode using physical vapor deposition method on a substrate; growing sequentially multiple layers of parylene on the bottom electrode by polymer chemical vapor deposition; defining the via for leading out the bottom electrode by lithography and etching; growing material for the top electrode on the parylene materials by using physical vapor deposition process, defining the top electrode material by lithography and lift-off, and leading out the bottom electrode.

  • Patent number: 9379322
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly reliable nonvolatile memory and a manufacturing method thereof. The nonvolatile memory comprises top electrodes, bottom electrodes and a resistive material layer disposed therebetween, wherein the top electrodes are positioned on top in the memory; the bottom electrodes are positioned on a substrate; metal oxide for forming the resistive material layer is doped with metal; and a metal oxygen storage layer is further disposed between the top electrodes and the resistive material layer. The manufacturing method adopts a method in which a doping method and a double-layer forming method are combined, so that the highly reliable and highly uniform resistive random access memory can be fabricated and accordingly the performance of the memory can be increased.

  • Patent number: 9214629
    Abstract: A resistive memory having a leakage inhibiting characteristic and a method for fabricating the same, which can suppress a sneak current in a large scaled crossing array of a RRAM. A memory cell forming the resistive memory comprises a lower electrode, a first semiconductor-type oxide layer, a resistive material layer, a second semiconductor-type oxide layer and an upper electrode which are sequentially stacked. Each of the semiconductor-type oxide layers may be a semiconductor-type metal oxide or a semiconductor-type non-metal oxide. The sneak current may be effectively reduced by means of a Schottky barrier formed between the semiconductor-type oxide layer and the metal electrode, the fabrication process is easy to be implemented, and a high device integration degree can be achieved.
