Description

technical field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the fields of microelectronics manufacturing and memory, in particular to a self-rectifying resistive variable memory and a preparation method thereof. Background technique

[0002] Memory occupies an important position in the semiconductor market and can generally be divided into volatile memory and non-volatile memory. Volatile memory means that the information in the memory must be kept when the power is turned on, and the stored information will be lost when the power is not turned on; the main feature of the non-volatile memory is that it can be stored for a long time without power on Information. With the increasing popularity of portable electronic devices, non-volatile memory is becoming more and more important in embedded applications. Due to the explosive expansion of emerging markets such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, smart cars, and virtual reality, high-density embedded memories are...
