Resistive random access memory and method for initializing the same

Abstract

A resistive random access memory and an initialization method thereof are disclosed. The initialization method includes irradiating a memory device with an electromagnetic wave and manipulating a switching voltage to switch the memory device between a high resistance state and a low resistance state. The electromagnetic wave has a frequency of above 1016 Hertz. The resistive random access memory includes a plurality of memory devices and a switching circuit respectively electrically connected to the plurality of memory devices. Each of the plurality of memory devices has a resistance-changing layer and two electrode layers respectively located on an upper surface and a lower surface of the resistance-changing layer.
