Abstract:
An RRAM includes a resistive layer including a dielectric layer and surplus oxygen ions or nitrogen ions from a treatment on the dielectric layer after the dielectric layer is formed. When the RRAM is applied with a voltage, the oxygen ions or nitrogen ions occupy vacancies in the dielectric layer to increase resistance of the resistive layer. When the RRAM is applied with another voltage, the oxygen ions or nitrogen ions are removed from the vacancies to lower the resistance of the resistive layer.
