Patent ID: 7115473

Claim:
A method for fabricating a non-volatile memory that comprises an insulating substrate having a first electrode extending through the substrate from the front surface to the rear surface thereof; a second electrode that is formed on one side of the insulating substrate; and a recording layer that is clamped between the first electrode and the second electrode and whose resistance value varies when an electric pulse is applied across the first electrode and the second electrode; wherein the insulating substrate has a layered structure composed of an organic dielectric thin film and an inorganic dielectric layer that is thinner than the organic dielectric thin film; with the recording layer being formed on the side on which the inorganic dielectric layer is formed, and comprising the steps of: forming the inorganic dielectric layer by depositing an inorganic dielectric on one surface of the organic dielectric thin film in which a fine pore has been formed; covering one end of the pore with the recording layer by depositing the recording layer and the second electrode on the surface of the inorganic dielectric layer in this order; and forming the first electrode in the pore.
