Resistive interface material

Methods, systems, and devices for a resistive interface material are described. A memory device may be fabricated using a sequence of steps that include forming a stack of materials by depositing a first metal layer, depositing a first electrode layer on the metal layer, depositing a memory material on the first electrode layer to form one or more memory cells, depositing a second electrode layer on the memory material, and depositing a second metal layer on the second electrode layer. A lamina (or multiple) having a relatively high resistivity may be included in the stack of materials to reduce or eliminate a current spike that may otherwise occur across the memory cells during an access operation.
