ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating memory cells of a mask ROM device. A plurality of source/drain regions extending along a first direction is formed by implanting impurities into a semiconductor substrate, constituting bit lines of the memory cells. A code oxide layer is formed on a designated area of the semiconductor substrate defined by a barrier layer using a liquid-phase deposition process, whereby a multi-state mask ROM is fabricated by repeatedly performing the liquid-phase deposition process to form a series of coding oxide layers having increasing thicknesses. A gate oxide layer is formed on a portion of the semiconductor substrate not covered by the coding oxide layers. The thickness of the gate oxide layer is smaller than that of the coding oxide layers. A plurality of gate electrodes extending along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction is formed by depositing and patterning a conducting layer on the coding oxide layer and the gate oxide layer, constituting word lines of said memory cells. The cross area of every two adjacent bit lines and one word line thereby forms a memory cell of the mask ROM wherein threshold voltages of the memory cells are altered proportional to the thicknesses of the gate oxide layer and the coding oxide layers.
