A resistance RAM that is provided with an oxide layer and a solid electrolyte layer, and a method for operating the same are provided. The resistance RAM comprises a first electrode, an oxide layer that is formed on the first electrode, a solid electrolyte layer that is disposed on the oxide layer, and a second electrode that is disposed on the solid electrolyte layer. The method comprises the step of forming a conductive tip in the oxide layer by applying reference voltage to any one of the electrodes of the resistance RAM, applying foaming voltage to the remain one, such that the oxide layer is electrically broken. A conductive filament is formed in the solid electrolyte layer by applying a positive voltage to the second electrode on the basis of the voltage that is applied to the first electrode. The conductive filament that is formed in the solid electrolyte layer is removed by applying a negative voltage to the second electrode on the basis of the voltage that is applied to the first electrode. |
