Abstract

The disclosed technology generally relates to the field of semiconductor processing and more particularly to resistive random access memory and methods for manufacturing such memory. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a memory cell includes providing a substrate and providing a first electrode on the substrate. The method additionally includes depositing, via atomic layer deposition, a resistive switching material on the first electrode, wherein the resistive switching material comprises an oxide comprising a pnictogen chosen from the group consisting of As, Bi, Sb, and P. The resistive switching material may be doped, e.g., with Sb or an antimony-metal alloy. A second electrode may be formed over and in contact with the resistive switching material.
