ABSTRACT:
A mask ROM of the invention comprises: a plurality of memory cells arranged m a matrix; a plurality of word lines, each connecting gates of the memory cells in the lateral direction; a plurality of bit lines which are constructed by serially connecting MOS transistors constructing the memory cells; a row decoder connected to the word lines; and a column decoder connected to the bit lines in which each memory cell is constructed by an MOS transistor and a resistor connected in parallel between the source and drain of each MOS transistor. The content of each memory cell is determined by whether the resistor 8 is cut out or not so that the steps up to the cutting step of the resistors 8 can be standardized while maintaining a high density in integration of the memory cells and the turn-around time can be reduced.
