The semiconductor memory device includes a variable resistance device
having a solid electrolyte in a three-dimensional structure. The variable
resistance device includes a first electrode; the solid electrolyte,
which has at least two regions with different heights, formed on the
first electrode; and a second electrode made of a conductive material
formed on the solid electrolyte to cover the regions with different
heights. In addition, a multibit semiconductor memory device is provided
which includes a bias circuit that can control the intensity of a current
and time the current is supplied to the variable resistance device inside
a memory cell in multiple steps to configure multibits.
