Abstract:
A method for operating a multi-level resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell having a current-controlling device and a RRAM device connected together. The method is free of a “forming” step and includes setting the RRAM device to one of resistance levels by controlling the current-controlling device to one of current levels. The setting the RRAM device includes applying a first voltage to a top electrode of the RRAM device and applying a second voltage to a bottom electrode of the RRAM device. The second voltage is higher than the first voltage.
