Patent Images
1. A method of fabricating a resistive memory device, comprising:
- forming first conductive lines over a substrate such that the first conductive lines are parallel to each other and extend in a first direction;
forming a first data storage layer on the first conductive lines;
forming second conductive lines on the first data storage layer such that the second conductive lines are parallel to each other and extend in a second direction across the first direction;
simultaneously with the forming of the second conductive lines, forming a first oxide layer between the second conductive lines and the first data storage layer by reacting the first data storage layer with the second conductive lines;
forming a second data storage layer on the second conductive lines; and
forming third conductive lines on the second data storage layer such that the third conductive lines are parallel to each other and extend in the first direction,simultaneously with the forming of the third conductive lines, forming a second oxide layer between the third conductive lines and the second data storage layer by reacting the second data storage layer with the third conductive lines;
wherein the third conductive line does not overlap the first conductive line in the vertical direction.

Abstract
Provided are resistive memory devices and methods of fabricating the same. The resistive memory devices and the methods are advantageous for high integration because they can provide a multilayer memory cell structure. Also, the parallel conductive lines of adjacent layers do not overlap each other in the vertical direction, thus reducing errors in program/erase operations.
