Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of fabricating a resistive memory array includes forming a plurality of insulators and a conductive structure on a first substrate, performing a resistor-forming process to transform the insulators into a plurality of resistors, polishing the conductive structure to expose a plurality of contact points respectively electrically connected to the resistors, providing a second substrate having a plurality of transistors and a plurality of interconnect pads, bonding respectively the interconnect pads and the contact points, and removing the first substrate from the resistors and the conductive structure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating a resistive memory array, comprising: forming a plurality of insulators and a conductive structure on a first substrate, wherein the insulators are electrically connected to the conductive structure; performing a resistor-forming process to transform the insulators into a plurality of resistors by applying a forming voltage through the conductive structure; polishing the conductive structure to expose a plurality of contact points…
