ABSTRACT:
A ROM device of the type including an array of diode-type memory cells and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The bit lines of this ROM device are a plurality of diffusion regions formed in an alternate manner on the bottom of a plurality of parallel-spaced trenches and on the top of the solid portions between these trenches. This particular arrangement of the bit lines allows for an increased integration of the diode-type memory cells on a limited wafer surface without having to reduce the feature size of the semiconductor components of the ROM device. The diode-type memory cells that are set to a permanently-ON state involve a P-N junction diode being formed therein, wherein the P-N junction diode is electrically connected via a contact window in an insulating layer to the associated one of the overlaying word lines. Other memory cells that are set to a permanently-OFF state are formed with no P-N junction diode therein.
