Abstract

A method for forming a resistive switching device. The method includes providing a substrate having a surface region and forming a first dielectric material overlying the surface region. A first wiring structure is formed overlying the first dielectric material. The method forms one or more first structure comprising a junction material overlying the first wiring structure. A second structure comprising a stack of material is formed overlying the first structure. The second structure includes a resistive switching material, an active conductive material overlying the resistive switching material, and a second wiring material overlying the active conductive material. The second structure is configured such that the resistive switching material is free from a coincident vertical sidewall region with the junction material.
