Abstract

A variable resistance memory system includes a variable resistance memory device including a memory cell array including first and second areas; and a memory controller configured to control the variable resistance memory device. The first area includes first variable resistance memory cells including a first variable resistance material layer and the second area includes second variable resistance memory cells including a second variable resistance material layer having a metallic doping concentration higher than a metallic doping concentration of the first variable resistance material layer. The first variable resistance memory cells are used as storage and the second variable resistance memory cells are used as a buffer memory.
