Zusammenfassung:An area where a lower electrode is in contact with a variable resistance material needs to be reduced to lower the power consumption of a variable resistance memory device. The present invention is to provide a method of producing a variable resistance memory element whereby the lower electrode can be formed smaller. Combining an anisotropic etching process with an isotropic etching process enables the lower electrode to be formed smaller.
