Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above figure 1 The resistive memory shown also has the following disadvantages: (1) The storage function layer is directly in contact with the insulating medium layer in a large area, and impurities may diffuse into the middle of the insulating medium layer, thereby affecting the reliability of the device; (2) The structure shown in the figure The preparation process of the storage functional layer is complicated, which affects its cost and production efficiency; (3) In the case of a thin storage functional layer (below the order of nanometers), it may cause poor adhesion to the lower electrode

Abstract

The invention provides a resistive memory, and belongs to the technical field of resistive memories. The resistive memory comprises a lower electrode, a memory function layer and an upper electrode, wherein the lower electrode is of a bowl-shaped structure which is embedded in a medium layer, the lower electrode of the bowl-shaped structure comprises a bowl edge portion electrode, and the bowl edge portion electrode is oxidized to form the memory function layer. The resistive memory has the advantages that power consumption is small, metal elements in the memory function layer can not be easily diffused into the medium layer, and the preparation process is simple.
