Problems solved by technology

[0004] Moreover, the manufacturing process of the resistive memory is usually to form the lower electrode 160 in the medium layer, then oxidize the material of the lower electrode to form the storage medium 170, and then form a photomask on the storage medium 170, Expose and develop the photomask to expose the storage medium 170, deposit and form the upper electrode 180 on the storage medium, and finally remove the photomask. After the storage medium 170 is formed, the storage medium 170 is stored. Multiple times of semiconductor manufacturing processes on the medium 170 will cause unnecessary damage to the interface structure of the storage medium 170 and affect the performance of the resistive memory
[0005] Moreover, in the prior art, for an integrated circuit containing a resistive memory, the formation process of the resistive memory and the interconnection structure of other memories in the integrated circuit are separately carried out, so the manufacturing process is complicated.
