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.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for manufacturing a resistive switching element, including: performing an etching process, a deposition process and a polishing process alternately to prepare the bottom electrode, the resistive switching layer and the top electrode; and optimizing at least one of the bottom electrode, the resistive switching materials and the oxygen storage layer by using the sidewall process when preparing the bottom electrode and the resistive switching materials, so as to reduce a contact area between the bottom electrode and the resistive switching materials, and/or reduce a contact area between the resistive switching materials and the oxygen storage layer. The method could form conductive filaments in the resistive switching layer, and a low resistive state and high resistive state are realized by forming and breaking conductive filaments.
