Abstract:
The inventive concept provides a memory device, in which memory cells are arranged to have a low variation in electrical characteristics and thereby enhanced reliability, an electronic apparatus including the memory device, and a method of manufacturing the memory device. In the memory device, memory cells at different levels may be covered with spacers having different thicknesses, and this may control resistance characteristics (e.g., set resistance) of the memory cells and to reduce a vertical variation in electrical characteristics of the memory cells. Furthermore, by adjusting the thicknesses of the spacers, a sensing margin of the memory cells may increase.

Claim (Index 4):
A memory device, comprising:\n a substrate; a first electrode line provided on the substrate, the first electrode line extending in a first direction; a second electrode line provided on the first electrode line, the second electrode line extending in a second direction different from the first direction; a third electrode line provided on the second electrode line layer, the third electrode line layer extending in the first direction; a first memory cell provided at an intersection of and between the first and second electrode lines; a second memory cell provided at an intersection of and between the second and third electrode lines; a first spacer covering side surfaces of the first memory cell; and a second spacer covering side surfaces of the second memory cell, wherein each of first and second memory cells comprises a selection device, an electrode, and a variable resistance pattern stacked in upward or downward direction, and the first spacer has a thickness different from that of the second spacer.
