1. A resistive memory cell comprising:
a substrate;
an insulating layer including a first electrode;
a photoimageable switchable memory element pattern including a first and a second surface, formed by exposing and developing a photoimageable switchable material layer, and contacting the first electrode with the first surface; and
a second electrode contacting the photoimageable switchable memory element pattern with the second surface.
