8. A nonvolatile memory device comprising:
a lower electrode;
an array of a nonvolatile memory device, the array comprising:
at least two bit lines arranged at regular intervals on a substrate;
at least two word lines arranged at regular intervals and disposed across the bit lines;
a resistor structure including a data storage layer disposed on the bit lines at each of the intersections of the bit lines and word lines, the data storage layer including at least one of NiO, TiO2, HfO, ZrO, ZnO, WO3, CoO, and Nb2O5; and
a diode structure disposed in contact with the resistor structure and the word lines, the diode structure including
a first oxide layer disposed on the resistor structure, and
a second oxide layer disposed on the first oxide layer.
