Abstract

The present invention relates to a resistive random access memory device having a nano-scale tip, memory array using the same and fabrication method thereof. Especially, the present invention provides a technique forming a bottom electrode having an upwardly protruding tapered tip structure through etching a semiconductor substrate in order that an electric field is focused on the tip of the bottom electrode across a top electrode and that a region where conductive filaments are formed is maximally minimized or localized.
