Resistive random access memory device and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, a resistive random access memory device includes a substrate, first and second wiring lines, and a storage cell. The first and second wiring lines are disposed on the substrate so as to intersect each other. The storage cell is disposed between the first and second wiring lines at the intersection of the first and second wiring lines and includes a first electrode, a resistive switching film on the first electrode, a second electrode on the resistive switching film, and a tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer. The first electrode is electrically connected to the first wiring line. The second electrode is electrically connected to the second wiring line. The tantalum oxide (TaOx) layer is disposed between the first electrode and the resistive switching film and is in contact with the resistive switching film.
