Abstract

A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structure of an RRAM device includes a first electrode and a second electrode with an insulating layer interposing the first and second electrodes. The conductive filament providing for a switching function of the RRAM device may be formed within the insulating layer. Further, a nitrogen-rich metal layer interposes the second electrode and the insulating layer. The nitrogen-rich metal layer includes a greater nitrogen concentration than that of the adjacent second electrode.
