ABSTRACT:
A Read-Only Memory (ROM) device produced by self-aligned implantation. First, a non-coded mask ROM with a silicon substrate, a plurality of bit-lines formed in the substrate, a gate oxide layer formed on the bit-lines, and a plurality of word-lines formed on the gate oxide, which together form arrays of memory cells, is provided. Next, an aligning layer is formed above the word-lines. A photoresist is thereafter coated on the surface of the aligning layer. Then, portions of the photoresist not covered by a mask pattern are etched away to the aligning layer so as to provide openings exposing portions of the memory cells that will be programmed to operate in a first conduction state. Portions of the aligning layer exposed through the openings are then removed, after which impurities are implanted through the openings and into the substrate to enable the memory cells that are to operate in the first conduction state, and leave other non-programmed memory cells operating in a second conduction state.
