Abstract

A method for manufacturing a memory device includes forming a dielectric layer over a wafer, wherein the wafer has a device region and a peripheral region adjacent to the device region. A bottom via opening is formed in the dielectric layer and over the device region of the wafer and a trench is formed in the dielectric layer and over the peripheral region of the wafer. A bottom electrode via is formed in the bottom via opening. A bottom electrode layer is conformally formed over the bottom electrode via and lining a sidewall and a bottom of the trench. A memory layer and a top electrode are formed over the bottom electrode layer.
