Abstract

A method of operating a resistive non-volatile memory can be provided by applying a forming voltage across first and second electrodes of a selected memory cell in the variable resistance non-volatile memory device during an operation to the selected memory cell. The forming voltage can be a voltage level that is limited to less than a breakdown voltage of an insulation film included in selected memory cell between a variable resistance film and one of first electrode. Related devices and materials are also disclosed.
