Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) device may include a single substrate that includes a single chip, and a plurality of memory cells spaced apart from one another on the substrate and having different structures. Manufacturing the IC device may include forming a plurality of first word lines in a first region of the substrate, and forming a plurality of second word lines in or on a second region of the substrate. Capacitors may be formed on the first word lines. Source lines may be formed on the second word lines. An insulation layer that covers the plurality of capacitors and the plurality of source lines may be formed in the first region and the second region. A variable resistance structure may be formed at a location spaced apart from an upper surface of the substrate by a first vertical distance, in the second region.

Claims (25)
