Abstract

The present invention discloses a multilevel resistive memory having large storage capacity, which belongs to a field of a fabrication technology of a resistive memory. The resistive memory includes an top electrode and a bottom electrode, and a combination of a plurality of switching layers and defective layers interposed between the top electrode and the bottom electrode, wherein, the top electrode and the bottom electrode are respectively contacted with a switching layer (a film such as Ta2O5, TiO2, HfO2), and the defective layers (metal film such as Ti, Au, Ag) are interposed between the switching layers. By using the present invention, a storage capacity of a resistive memory can be increased.
