Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for fabricating a variable resistance memory device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: sequentially forming a first conductive layer and a variable resistance layer on a substrate; forming stacked structures in which first conductive lines and variable resistance lines are sequentially stacked by selectively etching the variable resistance layer and the first conductive layer; forming an insulating layer to fill a space between the stacked structures; forming a second conductive layer on the insulating layer and the stacked structures; and forming a second conductive line and a variable resistance pattern by etching the second conductive layer and the variable resistance line using mask patterns in a line type extending in a direction intersecting the stacked structures.
