A semiconductor structure may include a vertical field effect transistor, the vertical field effect transistor may include a top source drain, a bottom source drain, and an epitaxial channel and a resistive random access memory below the vertical field effect transistor. The resistive random access memory may include an epitaxial oxide layer, a top electrode, and a bottom electrode. The top electrode, which may function as the bottom source drain of the vertical field effect transistor, may be in direct contact with the epitaxial channel of the vertical field effect transistor. The epitaxial oxide layer may separate the top electrode from the bottom electrode. The top source drain may be arranged between a dielectric material and the epitaxial channel. The dielectric material may be in direct contact with a top surface of the epitaxial channel. The epitaxial oxide layer may be composed of a rare earth oxide. |
