Title: Semiconductor read only memory
Inventor: CHO SUNG-HEE
IPC: G11C17/12
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: A mask read only memory (mask ROM) in a semiconductor memory device has parallel diffusion regions 23 of a given conductivity type extending in a first direction and separated from one another by isolation regions 21. Parallel word lines extend in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Bit lines 31, 33 extend in the first direction over the word lines 25 and respective isolation regions 21 between diffusion regions 23, and contact word lines 25 through respective contact regions 27, 29. Each of the bit lines 31, 33 does not overlie the diffusion regions 23 adjacent the isolation region 21 that it does overlie. Thus, since the bit line 33 is separated from the diffusion regions 23 by a given interval, more efficient programming in a program region 35 can be attained, and turn around time (TAT) can be greatly reduced. <IMAGE>
