Abstract

A method of forming a resistance variable memory device, the method including forming a diode on a semiconductor substrate; forming a lower electrode on the diode; forming a first insulating film on the lower electrode, the first insulating film having an opening; forming a resistance variable film filling the opening such that the resistance variable film includes an amorphous region adjacent to a sidewall of the opening and a crystalline region adjacent to the lower electrode; and forming an upper electrode on the resistance variable film.
