Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell having a good yield, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by forming a bottom electrode over a lower metal interconnect layer, and forming a variable resistance dielectric data storage layer having a first thickness onto the bottom electrode. A capping layer is formed onto the dielectric data storage layer. The capping layer has a second thickness that is in a range of between approximately 2 to approximately 3 times thicker than the first thickness. A top electrode is formed over the capping layer, and an upper metal interconnect layer is formed over the top electrode.
