  • Publication number: 20230317520
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a semiconductor structure is provided. First active areas, a second active area, and a third active area are formed. A first dielectric layer is formed on the active areas. A patterned region that includes a cavity region and a dielectric region is formed in the first dielectric layer, and the cavity region surrounds the dielectric region. A filling layer is formed in the cavity region. Multiple first contact holes and at least one second contact hole that penetrate the first dielectric layer are formed. Each first contact hole exposes a portion of the corresponding first active area, and the second contact hole replaces the dielectric region and exposes a portion of the second active area. Metal layers are filled in to the first contact holes and the second contact hole.

  • Patent number: 11316106
    Abstract: Provided are a resistive random access memory and a manufacturing method thereof. The resistive random access memory includes first, second, and third electrodes, a variable resistance layer, a selection layer, and first and second bit lines. The second electrode and the third electrode are on the first electrode. The second and third electrodes are separated from each other and overlapped with the sidewall and the top surface of the first electrode. The variable resistance layer is between the first and second electrodes and between the first and third electrodes. The selection layer is between the variable resistance layer and the first electrode. The first bit line is on the second electrode and electrically connected to the second electrode via a first contact. The second bit line is on the third electrode and electrically connected to the third electrode via a second contact.
