Abstract

Example embodiments relate to a resistive random access memory (RRAM) and a method of manufacturing the RRAM. A RRAM according to example embodiments may include a lower electrode, which may be formed on a lower structure (e.g., substrate). A resistive layer may be formed on the lower electrode, wherein the resistive layer may include a transition metal dopant. An upper electrode may be formed on the resistive layer. Accordingly, the transition metal dopant may form a filament in the resistive layer that operates as a current path.
