Electronic device and method for fabricating the same

Abstract

This technology provides an electronic device. An electronic device in accordance with an implementation of this document may include a semiconductor memory for storing data, and the semiconductor memory may include a substrate; an interlayer dielectric layer over the substrate and patterned to include a contact hole; a lower contact structure formed over the substrate in the contact hole; and a variable resistance element formed over and electrically coupled to the lower contact structure, wherein the lower contact structure may include: a spacer formed on sidewalls of the contact hole in the interlayer dielectric layer and having a substantially uniform thickness along a direction perpendicular to a surface of the substrate; a contact plug filling a portion of the contact hole; and a contact pad formed over the contact plug and filling a remaining portion of the contact hole.
