Abstract

Provided is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a switching device capable of preventing a snake current. First, a transition metal oxide layer and a leakage control layer are alternately stacked on a substrate 1 to 20 times to form a varistor layer. The transition metal oxide layer is formed to contain an excessive transition metal compared to its stable state. The leakage control layer may be formed of one selected from the group consisting of a Mg layer, a Ta layer, an Al layer, a Zr layer, a Hf layer, a polysilicon layer, a conductive carbon group layer, and a Nb layer.
